Hetchins Track Frame

I am truly amazed by the lugs on that Hetchins. Some may think they might have over done the lugs there, but i reckon that is pure originality. Jack Denny believed that by increasing the length of the lugs would make the frame stronger, so that gave him plenty of space to be creative with the lugs. The curving on the rear stays also acted to reduce vibration... Ive never been on one, but certainly would give a lot of time to! What also made this frame perfect is the lugs on the rear bridge.. i dont know why but to me it looks very victorian - absolutely beautiful. Just for a quick note: the owner's actually putting the pieces together so I wonder what would it look like when its finished... definitely would be something delicious!
