Does look similar to Passoni, welds smoothed down...

Sure about this? I can't see any welding "rings" anymore. Tell me how they do that.

Takes nothing away from Levacon and Passoni. Means extra hard work on a frame. I always asked myself what kind of "welds" I would prefer and tend to say that the reworked option may "hide" some imperfect welds but looks so much smoother and minimalistic.

The welds are polished not to hide some imperfect welds. Levacon makes a frame weekly since many years ago, did you hear that a frame came back to his workshop?
