Isn't this a perfect frame for fixie randonneur ?:Long dropouts, just three braze ons (cable stops), and my Wicher track fork fits it :-))

yeah looks nice, why not do a bit of grinding and get those cable stops off, are you goingto get some colour on it too?

Leaving a rear brake for randonneuring might not be a bad idea. Or maybe you are tougher than I am.

Sure, at last I have found the frame which I do not mind grinding the braze-ons off from :rolleyes:
This IS colour already :D - previous owner restored this amateur racer (Jaguar) frame from 60'
The only reservation I have is that all the holes except for the bottom bracket are specific for this bike and its brothers: track Wicher and real randonneur Huragan only - parts might be the problem.

Cheers,

I do not think so (especially lately - three weeks ago, skiing, I have upgraded my knee so it now bends both ways :( . )
