Thanks, all. I, too, am looking forward to getting it built up and on the road.

The BB shell is a normal English-threaded 68 mm. And I agree about the underside of the fork crown - very sweet.
The A was Eisentraut's custom, built-to-measure frame. It could be made to be anything you wanted (within reason). This one looks to be meant as an all-day road bike.
Impressive workmanship. Nice paint, but I think it needs to be outside to really shine.
Agreed.

Btw, in case you need
the matching kit.
He cleaned it up, including spraying primer on the steerer tube. He really does do great work.

I'll post some as soon as I get a chance.

Either way, it's nearly a miracle that there's anymore wet paint being applied anywhere in California...this may become (another) dead craft here, pretty soon.
To be honest, I don't know if this was Imron or not. But yes, wet-paint bike frame painters are getting rarer all the time.

Oh, my God. I only just saw this post. Is this really true? Have I just turned a crown jewel into a Huffy? My God, what have I done?
I guess all there is left to do is drew the hell out of it, rattle-can it and turn it into a fixie.
And if you believe that . . . .
