Yes, I had seen the International. Great bike! I agree, Sheldon’s site is a great resource and I’ve thanked him, by email, more than once.

As mentioned, the build concept was inspired by English Clubman type bikes and over the winter, I put together a vintage version using a late ‘40’s Schwinn frame (chrome moly) and a S-A 3 speed. I’m having a lot of fun riding it this spring but think it would be great to have less weight (it’s around 30lbs) and more gears (I live in the Adirondacks). I’m thinking that the Gary Fisher Triton would also be a good starting point. The frame geometry seems a bit more relaxed than some of the other “track” bikes out there and it has fender mounts.

Anyway, this is all way off thread. Maybe I should start another one.

Alan
