But no, I had one up everyone. the only thing worse than missing a wheelset, is missing the frame, which sometimes I wish was the case. I have been struggling to figure out what to do with this frame without going too far overboard with cost for a very long time. I could easily spend so much money on this build that it wouldn't make any sense, but at the same time, I want something that is nice to ride and looks cool too. I don't want this great, American-made classic steel frame to look like it came from the junkyard.
I understand; things just escalate so quickly. CL donor bike? C&V for sale thread? And do you have pics of the beast in question? I'm curious.
