I actually wasn't the one who did the conversion (although, at the time I was shoping for a Bridgestone or Colnago to braze track ends onto). I know the guy who did it was running a rear brake so it makes sense that he didnt remove the brazeons from the top tube. it's wierd though that the braze on for the rear deraileur is still on there (?) but there's no deraileur hanger anymore (maybe for a stourmey archer? who knows)... but it's bad azz and the paint job is A++ (the guy i bought it from probably didn't ride it more than 3 times tops).

I love that bike. Wait till I post pics of the new gear (phil hubs laced to white Deep Vs with an older sugino mighty comp crankset!)
