Neither Vintage nor Classic, but...
It's not quite done, but here's a sneak preview:
Waiting for a part to complete the brakes, got to add a rack, got a small chainline issue (but it's not that big of a deal), wrap the bar, add a few custom decals, and she'll be good to go.

Interesting build...what are you using it for? I was thinking a drop bar MTB but the tires are slicks.

I'm cobbling it together out of spare parts, to be used mainly as a commuter. But I'm thinking it'll be a sort of "Jack of all trades, master of none" sort of bike...
Actually, the tires do have tread. They are Maxxis Hookworms:

Cool! Over the weekend I was working through a similar build in my head. What brake levers are those? Are they designed for the cantilever calipers? Thanks!

Thanks. Great help! I have a set, so I can move forward with my build! It was my one concern.
