I scored it on eBay - for $575 shipped!
Aside from a couple of the decals (mainly the stripes and Reynolds decal on the seat tube, which I can easily get repros for), it's in perfect vintage condition for an unrestored frame made in 1975. No dents or dings and the paint/chrome is in excellent condition.
As I've been working today I keep looking over at it in total disbelief!

Sorry lol, it's a square 57.
I'd never sell it anyway.

Also, that frame is what first led me to BF.
That's sentimental.
My grandfather also gave it to me.
I guess that's sentimental too.

Since it's getting nice out, I bought a new complete skateboard (gave my old one to my nephew in fall). They have really raised the price on skate goods, complete was 160. Shop I worked at in AZ you could get a complete for 130 after tax. Time to go be an old man at the skatepark.

Today I started to type a "today I" post, realized it was trite ****, and deleted all of it. I didn't even look at my bike all day because I didn't have to go to work and it is just the hunk of metal that gets me to work most days.

today i am hungover and the streets are kinda slushy but i think i'm still gonna go for a ride.
i thought my gearing was at like 73" but its was actually 81" cause im riding on 27" rims with 32c tires, and the only extra chainring i had was a 42t so i put it on, and now my gearing is at 65" and its super spinny and fun. i wanna try 69" and i'll probably settle at 73". but today i'm gonna go spin around like a madman, because its super fun.
