My custom Tetra Tri requires a hand wrapped lug at the head tube. I'm trying to decide whether to go w/ a clear finish (or possibly translucent), but since the hand wrapped carbon would show (as opposed to the normal tight carbon weave), I may go w/ a solid paint. There is one photo posted that makes a hand wrapped lug look basically like a wrapped up ball of black tape, but it's not the best photo.
Has anyone seen one of these hand wrapped joints done clear, nude or w/ translucent paint? The frame goes to the painter in a week! Thx.

I've since learned that all the tandem bikes have hand wrapped joints. Any tandem folks out there have any nude/clear/translucent finishes?

We have just received our Dragonfly with a nude finish and the lug work is spectacular!

Go Nude.
I have posted two pictures in the photogallery and there are several pages on my web page of our Dragonfly Tandem.
It is silly to use paint or clear coat on the frameset. Calfee's work is best seen uncovered by either.
