It makes you appreciate how much work goes into a frame.

The most fascinating part for me was the decal placement. It takes a lot of nerve to say "yeah, that looks right" that quickly.

+1.    The seat-tube sticker is a b****.    Getting the back to line up decently ain't easy.     This whole video is pretty awe inspiring though-  a top craftsman at work.

I restored a 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur and had D&D repaint it in the
original orange. He helped research the decals, found a source for
'em, and did a truly amazing paint job on the bike. Cost me more than
I admitted to my wife but, as the RBWOB group can appreciate, it was
worth the expense. Plus, I got to see some great Rivendells there for
repainting, too.
