When I first came across that bike on ebay I saw all the braze-ons and chromed fork and just gave it a quick glance, as both those features are immediate turn-offs to me.

But looking at it more closely now, maybe that fork was painted orginally? It does not look highly polished, so maybe it was stripped. But with the obvious front-end damage to frame maybe it's not original to the bike.

It's going to be a loss-leader but it sure could be made into something nice with a couple of tube replacements, braze-on removal, and a nice paint job. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could the frame for a couple of hundred bucks........
