Well now that's a dead give away isn't it. I knew from those rear dropouts it was probably a Socal bike. Is the internal cable routing a later add on?

No, original to the bike.

Cool- thanks Dave. Sort of a "melt-down".

Just curious... do you ever get older frames you've built, offered to you for sale? I'd like a 53-54cm ctc, mid '80s or earlier... ;)

One that size went on ebay about three months ago for $380. Custom, original paint, all Campy Super Record; I wish I had bid on it.

That's my '68 Grand Touring, doing it's impression of an Astra Boulevardier.

Just a bit of silliness... ;) I like taking pictures of my bikes, and having some fun with Photoshop™ too.
I should be out riding...

A moto, A singer. . .

can we get a pic of the singer, "unretouched"? it is after all
a work of art.
BTW your Confente?

The Singer's not a demountable, but does have some cool features not seen on most of 'em. It's a '75 build, as far as I can tell. Here's a pic of it as I got it, not yet shined up. I found this one hanging in a hole-in-the-wall bike shop... The owner didn't know what brand of bike it was:
