While Covid scrolling I came across this Vintage 10 speed and Vader's voice echoed " You don't know the POWER of the DARK SIDE...".
As advertised here we have the glory of a lugged frame with seat stays that look to have been crushed (?) into a nice flat surface to weld onto the lug, and what a weld, something the East German Cold War bicycle team would be proud of ?
So take a moment to touch and delight in your vintage classic frame's construction, but remember like all things there is a "Dark Side", though looking back we may have all had one or two 30-50lb bikes on the way to Valhalla.
Oh, and do share any similar wonders you have come upon, we all need a chuckle as we play cheese maze trying to get a Covid vaccination.
