My new frame
Greetings! This is my new frame. Will pick it up in Switzerland over Christmas. Total cost ended up being $121. Will post nicer pics once I get my hands on it. Don't know much about it except that it is German custom steel.

Thats pretty funny, we both have IRO's but went for steel lugged frames. I now have a 63cm 79' schwinn le tour IV that i painted baby blue. I sold the Mark V to a friend. There is something about lugged steel... I'll try to post pics today.

No, No. The Iro is here to stay. I still love it!
It will take me a long time to build this new bike. Slowly, slowly, part by part (and only the nicest ones). Estimate is a year at least.

Krupp Stahl, Juhuu! Wenn du irgendwelche infos zum Hercules hast, dann laet mi nou.
Mal schauen wie der Rahmen in Wirklichkeit faehrt. Sonst kann ich ihn hier fuer ein 3-faches verkaufen.

It's a rare thing indeed, to buy from a Swiss, and to sell at triple your investment.
Gut gemacht!

It was on ebay Germany. I just bid on it for the hell of it. Never thought I'd get it. Luckily I did. Guess 62cm frames are not that popular and I assume the "track bike on the road boom" has not yet kicked in. Unfortunately this was the only one he had.
