It's Alive!

Well, sort of. I put some wheel on my mystery frame, added a brake, and took off around the neighborhood! I wanted to make sure I liked the ride before I do alot of work building this thing up. Well, even with boat anchor steel wheels and a cheap brake the bike rode well. I tracked straight, had a good feel, and it fits me well! As I haven't hooked up the mechs, I only had one gear, but it was still fun. I think I'm gonna have to get some better wheels and brakes and maybe a Campy rear D. After that I feel a paint job will be in order. This should be fun!!

Glad I looked at this before I left work (Shhh) The camera is in my desk drawer. Also, I think I have a line on some Alloy 27" wheels!
