Yes indeed.
Here's one that I built up on a modern lugged steel frame w/ design similar to the Brit club rider's bike I came up with. Finding another International in good nick for the project was a remote possibility. This Soma w/ a modest suite of modern components, and bits & bobs from the parts box, meets my requirements. It's a nice clean design w/ 130 spacing, never crashed, no rust and no hyper$ "collector's object" price tag. Ooh, I like that, and I like the black color better than the metallic gray that they're selling now. Still prefer the look of a quill stem, but I do like the functionality of the removable faceplate that comes with threadless. Good thing that thing doesn't come with chrome socks and chainstay or I'd probably be cleaning drool out of my keyboard. |

Velognome,
Fenders will fit just fine w/28mm tires, a new set is sitting in a box since we're in a drought. If it ever rains again I'll install them and ride in the slop. Good idea on the bell. I have a brass Crane model bell on my town bike, it's perfect to issue a Zen-like "Ding!" to remind one's self that riding a bike is not a Serious Activity. Brad |

I modern one, a real one from the 60s or 70s or a modern one in vintage style clothing? I guess a naked lady wouldn't wear vintage clothing.
