Fresh Garbage
Found this Bridgestone MB-4 frame in a free pile around town. Only had some disc wheels spare so I made a disc tab and brazed it on with some silver. My brazing is a bit out of practice 
Needed more flux and better heat control to wet out better. It gets the job done though. I love building ugly bikes from trash!

The Mammoth Gran Fondo? I'm doing that too; I did it last year for the first time and it was great... super intense doing that much elevation at that altitude if you're not used to it.

Why does that look like an integrated bar/stem combo?

They're much too deep for CX nevertheless. Compact drops were never heard of in their time.
Alter pinup girls are nice though.

I had the Klein MC2 setup on my old Adroit. It sucked not having adjustments but there was just something so cool about it...maybe part of it is the fact it's something that sits right in front of you on rides so you get to actually admire it.
Kind of like owning a functional but great looking steering wheel in a car (like an old Nardi Classic).

I find this to be so true on some bikes. It can be a really cool top cap or an unusual front hub. That stem/bar combo would certainly qualify.

I love it looks-wise but the welds on the sides of the stem would make me nervous.
