Hey, it took a day for your attachments to make it. Yes, those two bikes look like mine!

This frame actually came with the old brakes. Side pull brakes, specifically. I strained very hard to read the copy on those Schwinn ads, and the World Tourist has side-pull brakes. I wonder if mine are Dia-Compe brakes. We'll see.

dogbait: The frame is primed... next is sanding, and then color! The frame will be black, and I will be hand-painting a copper bead around the lug outlines before shooting it with a clear coat. It's going to be a very handsome frame
