how dare you call my baby a "turd"!!! it's a great steel frame that rides super smooth and hard to find nowadays. I don't wanna part with it cuz it's my trusty steed. and i don't wanna chop the existing handlebars cuz it's also original '65 part. i'll just slowly add parts and if i really find a good deal on a frame then i'll switch them over, but for now i don't want to canabalize my dear dear bike. but about the wheels....
