Based on this comment I expected an old bike fitted with Modern parts.


I think it's a pretty bike. Maybe the wood rims are a bit too old-y for it, or maybe the moustache bars are too precious for my taste... For someone who may not be familiar with this "vintage" of bike, or someone that may find anything beyond welds as "exotic," this is a pretty bike. From the lugs, to the paint to the decals to the fork (I love that dual fork crown), and even most of the parts. It's an old bike done up pretty.
