Thanks! The disc mount is pure Steve Potts but I did insist on specific cable routing to make the bike look balanced as they usually just drill though the v-brake guides on the top-tube. I had them leave that for either a rear shock remote or dropper post control.
Steve and John are great people to work with and do things very thoroughly including x-raying the frame to check for any faults, means I am very happy to ride this decade old frame!
Ha! No, very, very safely crated with wooden blocks in all the spaces to prevent crushing, surrounded with lagging and poly chips. I could have stood on the box and it wouldn't have known! That said, I did pay $400 for shipping so I was expecting something special.
