What to do with this...

Fixie? Frankenbike? Sell it on? I only bought it because of the price, and spotted on the pic that it had braze-ons and a proper RD hanger. The cranks are interesting, and the frame seems nice enough (very similar to a Bertin elsewhere on the forum) and it's my size. Choices choices...

Taking the pics, I just noticed a small 73 on the front of the seat tube lug. Surely not the year of manufacture? That would be too obvious...

The number 73 will indicate that the lug is a 73 degree angle - sorry!

I'd clean it up and ride it as is. What's not to like? Vitus steel lugged frame, Nervar cranks, Modolo Corsa brakes, MA2 rims - beautiful!

Back rim is a dodgy rigida. I might put the cranks on something else, and I just bought another frame! Noooooo!!!!!

Well, you've got plenty of good parts to work with!
