This may be a long post - sorry, but I thought this might be a good place to post a bit about the frame that I'm working on and will be building soon.

Let me start with a little bit of how I got the frame, then I'll move on to what I'm doing with it.

I purchased this frame in September 2009 while travelling Europe with Walking With Dinosaurs. I found it on eBay and bought it from a guy in Poland who shipped it to Copenhagen to meet me while we performed there. I already had 3 bikes with me on tour so I didn't allow myself to build it up - I didn't even open the box to look at it.

The frame travelled with me through at least 25 countries in Europe and Asia for about 18 months before I decided to bring it to the US while we had a break in January. I originally planned on building a fixed gear out of it and use it through Europe, but since it won't be going back to Europe I thought I might build a low buck road bike to use while staying in LA. After I finally opened the box in the beginning of February I decided that I might want to build it up as the bike I would have wanted to buy back in 1988 or 89.

Here are a couple pics right after it came out of the box.
