Hawww, you all are too much.

I posted on this a while back, if you didn't see it. This was my Holdsworth/Claud Butler resurrection. Couldn't give up my trusty commuter after it cracked up on me due to inadequate bronze penetration under the lug. I did use a grinding disc to get rid of lug that wasn't brazed to the frame tubes, and it wasn't pretty but it got the job done! I ride it every day. Unless I skip a day.

In all seriousness though, that's the Joe Bell paintjob it removed, with the cup-shaped wire wheel. Some damn fine paint, I was sorry to see it go.
