So the UPS lady just dropped off a brown box with my new Blue Large Gus Boots Wilsen.

Here it is with my Rosco Bubbe V1 commuter as a back ground:

It is quite a bit longer than the Rosco.
The kickstand plate appears to be twice a thick. The pump peg is on the left chain stay. The fillet brazing is flawless.

Must get back to work. Must get back to work.....

I will confirm that the filet work on both my Gus and Susie is beautifully and masterfully done. Could not feel or eyeball anything that looked less than perfect.

"I will confirm that the fillet work on both my Gus and Susie is beautifully and masterfully done. Could not feel or eyeball anything that looked less than perfect."

Same for the fillet joints on my custom (I know that's redundant cuz custom but bear with me). My frame has fillets and lugs and I think I'm actually more fascinated by the pretty welds! I suppose they're newer to me as an old lug guy, so this may play a part.

I love that Gus!
