Finding another International in good nick for the project was a remote possibility. This Soma w/ a modest suite of modern components, and bits & bobs from the parts box, meets my requirements. It's a nice clean design w/ 130 spacing, never crashed, no rust and no hyper$ "collector's object" price tag.
Ooh, I like that, and I like the black color better than the metallic gray that they're selling now. Still prefer the look of a quill stem, but I do like the functionality of the removable faceplate that comes with threadless. Good thing that thing doesn't come with chrome socks and chainstay or I'd probably be cleaning drool out of my keyboard.
