Well, i have had this frame sitting in the closet for about 2 years now. Did some trading with a few friends and got most of the parts lined up. So now its time for the build. Doing this one mostly period correct, or as close as i can. Be a cool looking bike when its done.
Quick question, the seattube is measuring about 26mm. Does that sound right?

Interesting cable routing, looks like the standard brake bridge was removed. I don' recall seeing any like that but it's possible.
Artwork is a one-off for sure but I like it Good luck Scott |
