Take the fillet brazed plunge!

Shipping is too high. Maybe BigWoo would do a local pickup and ship it at cost. As we say; "Make it your own!"
I'm w/ PB,
But I would do that build w/ a hand fillet-brazed Sports Tourer or Superior. The "warmth" of a mid-70's hand fillet brazed frameset will far surpass the fake you are contemplating.
And if that SS falls through shoot me a PM with your size requirements. I have a few too many Kool Lemon ST's and SS's right now....
Otherwise, I will gladly pick up and ship for you....Kurt, I know the seller, Richard, very, very well and the bike PB just presented you with is 5 minutes from my home. He is the biggest and coolest Retrogrouch in CO: http://www.cycleanalystinc.com/
All the cool guys on the block are riding fillet-brazed Schwinns....
