CL Find, Retrotec
I try to stay off Chicago's CL, too much temptation to make the drive north to grab something. Well, today, during a lull at work, decided what the heck. About an hour later, I'm in the car driving north on I65. Thinking its more a touring frame, judging by the chainstays and looks like needing long reach brakes, but hey, for $200, I'm not gonna argue!

SCORE! You did good. Relaxed road geometry, iirc, very ride-able.

Congrats! Definitely worth dropping everything to go grab it. What's the plan for the build?

Honestly, no idea. Open for any and all suggestions. Will need a fork/headset to start. Haven't used an eccentric bb before, so not familiar with crank options.

They've always had a throng at all the NAHBS I've attended. Definitely drool-worthy. Nice score!

I'm even more than stoked about this find! Gonna be posted some WTB's for this bad boy.

Anyone know if these are stamped with serial #'s?

Nice find! With that EBB I'd consider running an internal hub like Shimano Nexus or Alfine. My wife's bike is setup this way and it's perfect for a low-maintenance cruiser or townie.
