My new ride...

I know everyone's been losing sleep wondering what would happen since I posted this thread.

The steel looks good with the modern stuff.

After this weekend, it'll go on CL. If nobody bites, maybe ebay but probably donate it to yellowbike.

The top tube is 52cm c-c and the seat tube is 52 c-t if I'm measuring it right.
