I see a set breast or naked women on a Trek.

Dr.D finished that bike for me. When it is all built up I will post a pic. The folks in the classic & vintage forum had a bit of a different reaction....

Hey, I'm starting to like this. That's a pretty big stearing tube isn't? Got to be at least a 60 cm frame. maybe bigger. No way could you fit one on a midget bike. Maybe this will end the midget bike tyrrany once and for all. It's the first sign of hope I've seen in a long time. What a great way to start off the new year.

Funny you mention the frame size as I am moving up a cm or two with this bike. Awhile ago I had been given some inccorect fit advice from a local shop and had been riding a 56cm 1977 Trek. While a great bike, when I move to a 58 cm 1973 Schwinn World Voyageur I felt instantaly more comfortable. The bike in the picture is a 60cm 1981 Trek 710. I will be running moustache bars and neede to be able to get them as high if not a bit hogher than the saddle. On the 56cm Trek the the Nitto Technomoc stem was at the max insertion line and it is a long stem. The standover on the 60 cm is ok but the top tube is just about 58 cm, same as my other bike. Viva large frames!!

I hope who ever rides that bike does not run into a pedestrian. That would be a serious nose poke!...
p.s. I would hate to clean it up after a ride in sludge. So many nooks and crannies for dirt to accumulate...

OP's head tube looks like the candlestick from Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
