I did paint this frame and I'm not happy with the color so I don't care if I hurt the paint doing anything to it. I use to paint harleys and this is a true kandy paint job and that's where I messed up. I thought I already had all the colors to get me to lime green/yellow but not really....lol. I cleared the bike with a yellow dye to get it where it is now.... for those that don't understand how it went from blue to green.

Anyways, I took it to a bike shop here in Austin yesterday and they pretty much poo poo'd the whole idea. The rear is at 120mm not 126. They did say they could cold set it but the extra long brakes and lots of other stuff missing on the frame, make it difficult and expensive.... according to them. Said it would be a great fixi frame though.

I'll get the BB dimension in a bit but my question now is what if I stripped this frame, could I go buy all the stuff that's needed and braze it on?? If so where? I have a great machinist who's a good friend. Or maybe I should punt and buy a later model modern frame that has everything there???

Thanks for any ideas!
