This summer’s present to myself, old new stock of a 40 year old frame, never strung. A much, much less elegant weapon from a much, much less civilized age, but in the right hands on the right day the last argument of the sport of kings. Modern frames feel so flimsy to me, unusably so, and nothing even vaguely like this is being manufactured by anyone today.
