Congrats on that BG, looks like a keeper. 👍
That's a crazy looking seat lug, alright. 😁
TY! Ya and apparently silver brazed? It's possible IT&B had the connections to order it in, but I'm wondering if the owner brought it out to Hawaii. The folks were from the continent (mainland) but nowhere near California.

Great score, well done, a BG in Hawaii, H**Y CRAP!
Not a leap of course but I will go on record saying you're going to love this as I do mine.
It flies down the road even with my lard azz on it despite being quite small, some kind of odd criterium? like geometry, fantastic riding for me.
So it,
And this,
Begat this.
Dave Levy at TiCyles used those two to build this one and incorporate some other key elements as well.
Got some of the best attributes of three of the best builders for another even more phenomenal riding bike.
WOW. Sounds like a dream.

Ya! I'm looking forward to checking it out more in detail.

They came on a Bianchi I bought and I had to cut them off the rims!

Haha, I'm marginally familiar. The last pair (off the Ron Cooper tall tall frame) were splitting at the sidewalls and I was tempted to cut the beads off.
Perhaps the best part of these tires is that they keep form long after they're flat
Great for skid stopping a fixed bike...hard as a rock, real fun in the rain.

Great find. I've got those rims on my Kypo - I see your Mavic decals are peeling off too! I can't find any replacements.
Interesting if it's from '85 it still has Portacatena holes in the dropout, guess Bruce had a few lying around.
Thanks for chiming in! And TY
bulgie for the scans.
I was wondering if those were for a Portacena setup. Gosh, I'm chuffed for finding this one.
