Acquired this a bit while back for near nothing. I've long had a mild curiosity of them, the hoopla, marketing and the 'death' of them. Given this one was basically original and likely improved over the Lambert era, I've still yet plan to make some changes. To heck with the purist, I plan on really using it and not fuss whats original or not. Though the changes will be in keeping of the era. Decided to photo document it and will be a work in progress.

For starters, the factory advert showing the non drive side, and of course the original CL listing was the same.
(Note the location of cable mounts on the top tube. Jeepers.)

And to get the death fork out of the way, er' rather keep! As a joke, this fellow has the AVA death stem and matching bars.
