He built it up into a very special bicycle.
The Kvale connection on this one is a bonus.

I have three of them and I feel like I won the lottery every time I ride two of them.
I sure wish my third Kvale frameset fit me, but it's fun to see it on the wall in my new bike room I am building.

Yep, definitely sized for the longer torso'd rider.
Not me unfortunately.
When I find the individual that's looking for this sizing, they are going to get a very nice frameset.
The detailing and finishing work is really top shelf.

Picked up this 1978 Grand Jublie, rotted tires, didn't have any 27" so borrowed the red ones from a friend until I can order some. The frame does have some red on it, the st sticker and the ht badge; the red, champagne/silver and black look pretty good together. No new bar tape is planned as it has the original fake leather on it. This is not a keeper, I'll be selling it shortly. So are the red tires hot......or not?

^ The red tires, especially, but also the severe angle of the drops, and that saddle...Sorry, I've got to vote Not Hot.

Well, since you posted in the hot 'r not thread ASKING for it...
I love the saddle and the tape, but don't think they work well with this bike. Maybe it's the brown tape with black shifters I don't like? Not sure, but the brown-on-brown looks HOT on Poprad's Vanilla. The black shifters need to go either way. Convert some alloy 9s Record or find 10s alloy Chorus or Centaur. That's really nitpicking though, she's a stunner and a grail bike.
