BCD: 130mm I like the Sugino too. I read some reviews on the origin8 and basically everyone said they're junk. I like the Surly and White Ind stuff too but no one seems to make a 52T with a 130 BCD that would mate to my current chainring but the stock chainring actually bolts to the crank at a BCD of about 50mm and has holes at BCD 130 mm to bolt on additional chainrings. So....there's that to think about.
No rear brake for now
Is someone gonna blow a gasket if I get out the OA torch and remove the braze ons and kickstand? I personally don't consider this a very unique or valuable frame but I'm not really paying attention to the vintage bike market. The paint is wasted and there's other frame damage that will need to be filled with brass before a repaint.
