Is this the good kind of Frejus? Was that a 531 sticker once upon a time?

I don't think that's a Pletscher. The Schwinn shop in town (late '70s) used to sell an alloy rattrap rack like that, Schwinn Approved, but I do not know who made it. Instead of clamping to the stays like a Pletscher at the front it had that long metal bracket that went to the seatpost binder bolt. Somebody on here is bound to have installed hundreds of them and can chime in.

For sale a hand built steel frame Waterford road bike. In good condition and fresh from a tune up and some new parts at Angry Catfish bike shop (new front STI brake/shifter, new front chain ring/chain, some new cabling). Bike is equipped with SRAM Rival components and American Classic Victory wheels.
I got some pics while the bike was in the shop, I'll post some more detailed photos on request.
This is your chance to own a beautiful steel-framed road bike, handmade in the USA with great ride quality for a good price.
Great for longer day rides, gran fondos, light touring - any time you want to go far and fast.
Purchasing a new bike, so have to make room by selling this one.

They are an exceptional shop in many ways.
Great staff, bikes, coffee, ambiance. The whole nine yards.
Lately though I just go to Grand Performance.
Again, an exceptional racing shop with a fantastic tradition.
Two minutes from our house and I bring in my own coffee.

Thought this was pretty cool. I could help out if needed but I can't imagine shipping this thing.

Being so close to one of our favorite brew pubs (Northbound Smokehouse), it's easy to have an excuse to stroll through. One of these days I'll have to check out Grand. It's probably the only heavy hitter shop I haven't visited in the metro.

Our family loves to go there.
We haven't had a bad meal yet and we especially love the lake trout/rosemary in the fish tacos.
Great growlers as well...

Indeed. We've been going since they've opened and I've yet to be disappointed with anything we've ever tried. Pretty spectacular actually for what is reasonably priced food in a casual sit down venue. Who just happens to brew quality beer.
BTW, sent you a PM.

I am going to have to give the Brewpub a try. I have spent a lot of time at Grand Performance too. A three block walk for me.
