Well done. Rear rack mounts are for tail lights!

Thank you everyone, yall are too kind.


And yes, that ungodly tape has to come out of the brakes. Was in the plans and then I totally forgot and I am ashamed of it lol

First ride this weekend if it does not snow.

Lovely. I particularly like the “silver party up top, black down below” look.

Perfect Groupset for that bike. Such a classic build. I have a bike very similar with the same Groupset and MRB running 30s and some custom hoops and well not much else to say.
Me thinks you will totally enjoy the ride and the 1" steel up front will really make this a great ride. Soak up the road but still a fantastic fast group rider and you won't feel beat up once it's parked.
Enjoy...

There is literally not one thing I would change on that build that would improve its presentation. Love it!

"I can't believe no one picked this up before I did, was sitting around the classifieds for a week or 2 at a very good deal on what looks like a brand new frameset."

It would have been long gone if it had been a smidge smaller. Great deal and looks killer. I had a custom DeSalvo and foolishly sold it.

Perfect. Sometimes perfection isn't all that complicated. No need for anything more that what is pictured...and a GREAT builder too. Nice score, bub.

My kind of bike! As always it is a well executed build! We got a foot of snow up here on Monday and are supposed to get 8" more today. Give me a shout if you don't get any and want to ride on Sunday! I am dying to try out my Race ti!

Its been a pretty easy winter but we are getting some snow right now finally… I bought a freaking nice snow blower this year and have yet to use it.

I will holler but man I am so out of shape that I think will be a pretty short ride ahha, gotta get back into it slowly.

I crashed pretty hard last week on my Fatty and have some bumps and bruises. I just want to spin around a bit on a drop bar bike!
