Swoopy step-through nearly complete

This bike is going to my mom and has a few special features designed just for her. The down tube is curved slightly to allow for the more dramatic curve of the top tube. This allows the widest and lowest step-through possible with two separate tubes. I'm finishing the fork now and hope to get it all off to powder in a few days.

custom seat stay caps made from one-inch diameter tubing

I put a threaded boss under the brake bridge for clean fender mounting.

Because of the curves, I'm routing the cables along each side of the down tube and through custom brass guide tubes on the BB shell. The rear brake cable is routed like a bottom pull front derailleur. Also visible here is the kickstand plate.
