i'm sure you wont make it any harder on yourself by posting that frame here since its not a good frame for converting.

Looks like horizontal drops, although they look pretty small. You could get lucky with the chain length and then youd have the 1/2 inch of play to tension it.

But it could easily be a nightmare to convert.

GAH! well apparently i'm not very good at this whole hunting-for-a-vintage-frame-to-convert thing. I'm pretty close to just breaking down and breaking out the wallet to get a new frame like an IRO angus or similar.

I did see this though: http://cgi.ebay.com/1992-1st-generat...QQcmdZViewItem
but i really want to build the bike myself, i figure that way i'll learn more about bikes in the process.

You will but dont pass up a good deal if you see one. I was building a bike but then bought a pista for 250 and continued building a conversion in my spare time. I've since parted together 3 bikes.

Kinda cool, yet very tall conversion for cheap-ish.

trons 05-04-08 11:20 PM

reedreeder 05-04-08 11:43 PM

Are those really that nice & desirable?

Also, he mentions the fork is made by some NJS builder...it looks like the stock fork to me?

Worth a look?

kyle! 05-06-08 11:19 AM

Yeah but not $300 worth a look. I would haggle that. Otherwise, cool frame.

Wow. Good pictures and a good/embellished description go really far these days. Expect to see a huge influx of C-dales in the next few weeks as folks cash in. Nutty.

Hahahaha yeah, the price was $150 when i posted that link. didn't expect it to go that high, i'm kinda blown away.

This is neither SS or Fixed but I think that I will bid on it, for obvious reasons.
