OP asked for a pic of my bike, his provided email didn't work, so instead I am posting it here on the thread that won't die.

I apologize for the quality, it is a digi cam pic of an old polaroid, and compressed per bikeforums.net requirement. Original polaroid isn't much better, and I only have the one photo.

As I mentioned, it was built by Don Lucas when he (briefly) had a shop in Schenectady. I *think* he had a shop in either Balston Spa or Malta before that, or maybe he was just building frames out of his garage. I took a look at OP's other thread linked to in the first post and the Lucas font and positions are the same as mine; *I* have no doubt that he made that frame. Fade paint jobs were popular back then, at least around here due to Serotta influence.

Another poster mentioned the Inside Edge bike shop. Coincidentally, shortly before I wrecked my frame (don't ask) I got a job there working in the ski shop and ended up sticking around for a few years working on bikes too. I got a screaming deal on a Cannondale Super V that insurance paid for which is why I never rebuilt the Lucas.

I've never heard of the Schenectady location, I'll have to ask about that. Inside Edge was recently sold by the Jacobs family to a guy that worked for them a long time ago, the Prince of Norway. There was an article about it in the local paper The Post-Star. Also, one of their old-timer mechanics now manages Grey Ghost in Glens Falls.
