Yeah, me too. It reminds me of a cycle truck. What else do you do with those besides hang them on the wall as interesting oddities in cycling history?

It does certainly look a lot better than anything with a Crust Clydesdale fork on it

I would love to ride one of these someday. I know it wouldn't be super comfortable, but I think it would be a blast for little 20 mile rocket ship rides.

Probably 56 then. I had a 58 Passage and the head tube was a bit longer than this.

It took me a while to find my chrome Schwinn Paramount and it cost me a lot more than this. And I believe that this one is worth than my 1973 model.

For tubing info try contacting Scott at Blue Wheel in Charlottesville VA. I'm sure he can answer any questions you may have on how he builds his stuff.
