Finally got around to investigating an old Trek frame I picked up a few months ago. What I thought was an Ishiwata 5xx turns out to be a 1982 Trek 730 Reynolds 531 frameset with a Reynolds 531 chrome fork, Campy headset, and Tange bottom bracket!

Paint job was done in the 80's, so it's pretty rad I've mocked it up with a set of fixie wheels just to give it some street red, and check out the angles. Best thing is, it's a prefect fit! I'm going to throw some Ultegra 6650 SL on it, and ride the radness for a while, then if I love it, probably powdercoat and do a full frame restore.
