This thing fell into my lap (meaning I bid on it on eBay) for $43 shipped as seen here. Campy drops, new paint, nice bb, superbe mech. It's some type of columbus tubing, apparently. If I could find a chrome fork with a bunch of steerer that'd be nice, though I'm also thinking about a 1" carbon fork from nashbar.. Aside from that I don't know. Maybe I'll just build it and give it to a friend.



Picked up this JT Tour of Britain in California a month ago. I tried to get Bob Freeman at Elliott Bay to paint it but he declined due to time. Now I hear they're closing. So I guess it's going to Bilenky. I'd like the original paint job recreated.







This is a keeper and a frame I'd been looking for in my size for quite some time. I'll build it with most likely with DT shifting and a mix of stuff that will make me want to ride it a lot.

I've also got a Surly Disc Trucker that I may or may not do anything with. However, fender1 if you read this I will come get the wheels some time this year, promise!

Anyhow, what have you guys got going on?
No problem, whenever. BTW, I have that set of Sturmey Archer 26" hub-brake wheelset for that Schwinn. You could run 26x2.25 tires for urban assualt.
