I think if you were to ask various frame builders, they would say that Ross Shafer would probably be at the top of their lists as one of the best pure fillet brazers. Ritchey fillets are truly beautiful, but that's what you can get with filing. The Salsa fillets were unfiled.

Another unknown excellent fillet brazer is Leo Castellon. He made Joe Murray's early Fisher race bikes and later was the main frame builder at Tesch before hanging up his own sign and making frames under Casetllon. Leo's fillets were also unfiled. I've got a Salsa and Castellon that I'll take photos of later in the week - but they are covered with paint.

I'll nominate Chris Dekerf

Here is the seat cluster from my 1997 Dekerf Team SL

I'd also mention Paul Brodie as a classic Canadian fillet braze artist for his romax (no pic)

Here is a link to some pics of unpainted fillets

Here's a Romax. Really small fillets on it.
