That's a nice catch.

Just beware of ever selling it to a die-hard young fixie*. They may chisel off the naughty bits for sex appeal. 3Rensho frames are next to Godly in that crowd.

What was the price, by the way, if it's not too brazen to ask?

*apologies to die-hard fixed gear enthusiasts who engage in this practice. In my humblest of opinions, it's like cutting the knees off of one of Waterhouse's lovely vixens to make the painting smaller.
