The paint scheme and beautiful
electroforged construction make it most reminiscent of a lugless, small English builder's frameset from the 1940's. Jack Taylor, eat your heart out.

Schwinn, myself, and Dr.D thank you for your kind words! But...
no electroforging went into the construction of "Sporty." It, along with all other Super Sports, Sports Tourers, Superiors, and the elusive Sport Limited, produced in the 1960-70s, were all hand made fillet brazed cromolly frames, built just around the corner from the Paramount Cage.
Sometimes the fillet brazing could be a bit sloppy. But when "dressed" by Dr.Deltron before he paints, they look as nice as any, dare I say, Tom Ritchey frame.
Here's another teaser picture from Dr.D's very neat shop!
