Another One Bites the Dust
Just found this sad frame on Ebay:
https://cgi.ebay.com/55cm-Raw-Steel-F...item43a8ab089f
If it could talk, I wonder what it would say?
If it had hands, I wonder how long it would've taken to choke the living ***t out of the Dremel-toting madman?
Dremels shouldn't be sold without a license - and a signed document of intent.

^ That's true, but only on special occasions with permission from the Pope.
I'm still in a holding pattern on the 15 half-holes until my drill press pal gets back from out of town, Keith. Rest assured, the ring/crank is safe and sound.

"This vintage, mid to higher end road bike frame deserves a new life as a fixed gear conversion" He said.
I hope his six hour "wave of destruction" was lucrative. No doubt the frame has been perforated in several places. Argh!

I actually decided against getting rid of the one shifter boss. Hopefully I won't regret it after paint. I'm going to try to find a nice low profile bell to put on that side.

If the seller is being honest, sounds like this frame was pretty beat, too. And judging by the worksmanship, it doesn't appear to be a highly finished frame or a custom build. More likely from a shop with a high output.
That being said, the dremel work is rather crude.

Wonder if he got the paint off by setting it on fire - Anyway - If he sold it for 65.00 including shipping I would take it - Then I would braze all the bosses back on no problem...
