[MENTION=77789]Kobe[/MENTION], that is a neat bike, I gather that the head tube and seat tube are not the Reynolds tubing, since it didn't come in those lengths, but a straight gauge cr-mo tubing, for stiffness, and that the seat tube was then reamed to take the same size seat post as the regular frame kit.

I will for sure let you know if I decide not to try and save it, for the headbadge and fork if you want it. The headbadge seems to be etched or printed on an aluminized backing, like some of the oval Trek stick on badges. The design is from the 70s, they have a different logo today.

I cross posted in Framebuilders forum, maybe I'll get some opinions or recommendations for a good builder who can look at it locally.
