Here's the backstory, best as I can remember it. I bought this bike in 2021 for $700 and it came with a mix of bad components. Upon receiving it, I discovered the seat lug had a ~3/16" long vertical crack originating from the top of the lug. Seller refunded me $350 and we called it even. Jeff Lyon agreed to repair the lug and repaint the bike. He fixed the lug - confirmed it was good as new - and sent the frame back to me unpainted. He sent 2 NOS decals, both with the Kent location. I believe this frame was built when Jeff was in Northern California (Santa Rosa, I believe). He did a beautiful repair on the lug and I like that it was restored by the original master. As he didn't really paint anymore, I had it sprayed by a local guy. The paint isn't Joe Bell, but it's solid. Building it up with Nuovo Record group with high flange hubs. It is a lovely frame.
