The 'mount came with all Pista / Record, (50x16, OUCH!!) and really, I'd just pull everything but the headset for use on another frame. (Leaving the Record headset seems fair to the buyer, if I decide to sell)

Once I get clincher rims for the hubs, build the wheels, mount rubber and ride it, I'll really get a feel for the fit. As it is, even with flat tubulars, the standover is about 1/2" too high - flatfooted it really splits the beans. Put tires/air in the picture and it'd be too high for sure.
