New Bike build. Obscure Frame Builder, Bama

A friend of mine picked up this frame only in Poland years ago. He beat the paint up pretty good. He road it with a straight blade bonded aluminum fork and I scored this nice Tange on here. It was a 27.0 crown race so I bought a headset to fit and ended up using Loctite 660 on the cups. No dropouts were harmed in this build, proper end caps were purchased for rear hub to fit the frame. Eventually, these parts will move over to the 1970s Carabella Professional (after I ream the seat tube and face the headtube) and I may build this up as an eclectic mix road bike.
