Cruel fate; too bloody small. Jaysus, at 350 that thing would be gone if it were 62. Ouch, looking at this hurts.

Glad this stayed on the board, if only for the selfish reason I get to see more pictures of it. Congrats, guys!

TK made very few frames...and this is one of them. It’s also 531, beautifully painted...
I have one (all original) as a parts reference if the new owner is interested.

Take a good look at the Fork pics, inner tangs/crown=perfect, thinned headlug=beautiful, radiused Campy tips=priceless.
All the details are top shelf, which Kellogg is well known for, Ross, not so much.
