Yeah RoS, the 65cm Expedition is probably less frightening... The top tube is a scosche long for me, but a shorter stem will cure that. I am looking forward to riding a longer wheelbase.

Awesome project and looking forward to seeing how this turns out, but I’m honestly surprised one could buy a bike that large without going the custom route. The canti studs look ridiculously low on this seat stays. I feel like I’m looking at a frame through a funhouse mirror.
+1 on the righteous packing job.
Well gaucho777, I'm not really sure joining the French fit club is a good thing(for me). The headtube is over 10 inches long.

Yes Kobe, I do have a few parts to get the ball rolling. I found a Sugino AT in the basement(180mm even), but somewhere along the line I removed the small ring. We'll see...
