Will go to see it Saturday - maybe. I have to shoot a match in the morning, and then drive across to Oakland to pick up a free Miyata. If I have time, I'll get back to Walnut Creek to see the frame in the afternoon - if the fellow is available at that time. He said he "has a bunch of old parts I can have", so we'll see what that means.

As it sits, I'm leaning towards buying and building it with parts out of my bins. The main stumbling blocks are that I need an Italian square taper BB and an "upside down" mixte rear brake. That, and a set of wheels.

I need to figure out what I have to put into it, and how much I can get out of it to make it worth the effort.
