Is that the backyard of an apartment at 11th and Montrose-ish?

so, i got this quirkly little lugged steel giant in the beginning of january and decided to build it up for the hell of it. the headtube needed to be reamed, i got a torelli road fork for it and more or less put the components from my old Iro on it just to try it out. it turns out to be an amaaazingly quick ride and with the tubular wheelset on it at the moment, its surprisingly light. the frame originally came from andy white at fyxomatosis and rumor has it that its made from reynolds 531. overall, its pretty sassy.
