Strawberry - vintage- with a little help from cudak and picchio
 

picked this up yesterday. picchio and cudak said they were nice bikes. wasnt going to get it last week as the seat post was stuck but when i mentioned the wheels to kurt he said simply "go get it" so here it is. not sure of vintage. maybe someone could let me know. havent ridden it yet. need cleaned up etc etc

Don't know the brand, but it looks really nice. I'm a sucker for anything with a Concor. Is it just my eyes, or is your front q/r not closed tight?

The best ones are super nice - I'm still kicking myself for not bidding higher on a white one from the early 70's on ebay a couple of years or so ago. Mark Di Nucci brazed and filed many of them - dude had mad filing skills.

Nice.

What is so great about the wheels?

Having wheels makes the bike faster and smooths out the ride.

The payoff is visible when you look at the left side.

Met Andy at the Portland Handbuilt show. He was selling tools for custom frames, not his frames, although he did have an example.

I give up, where's the crown race?

On the front fork.

I'm going to say that's one of those aero rears - where the seat stays come out of seat tube as one.

That wishbone deal is a favorite of Andy's, AFAIK.

Monostay brake bridge, eh? Sure had me fooled.
