Brand New Exxon Graftek

Here's a picture of my exxon graftek. I took a broken 62 cm frame and cut it into pieces, rebuilt the frame with original rechromed lugs into a 54cm frame sporting 700 wheels and a 10 speed spacing rear triangle. It's the best looking bike you ever seen. Rides great. dpowers@harris.com

I cut the frame apart and belt sanded the remaining lug off the end of the tube. I used the original tubes and went from a 62 cm frame down to a 54cm frame, the original frames tubing didn't go to the end of the lug so the tubes were close to the size I needed to put it together.
