anybody have or know anything about this frame?
it has a small amount of rust, but nothing a new paint job couldn't handle.
it looks like the perfect winter project... for me or you.
is it worth it?
I found it. you want it?
I'll trade you a box (12) of blue papermate fine point pens for it.

I had one (gave it to a friend whose bike was stolen)... columbus tenax tubing. Pedal overlap. Not light but a pretty smooth ride. If the rust isn't too bad, I'd say it would make a real nice fixie.

it looks like it might be a little too big for me. I ride a 55mm(?) right now and I am 5'10".
the rust isn't too bad at all. I don't even think it is a factor. I just thought I would mention it.
I will post the pics later on this afternoon.

Is it lugged construction? I consider any decent lugged frame worth doing something with. I particularyly keep and eye out for old lugged Schwinns. At least you can figure it is a decent, sturdy frame.

What's the tubing? Right near the bottom bracket on the seat tube is a Columbus sticker. (not that I'm actually interested in getting the frame, just curious and it might interest someone who is)

there will be no money involved in the transaction if someone (local) does want it.

Hopefully it goes to a good home and you can see it again someday.
