Built it as a teen in the mid 70's, so the parts are a bit eclectic. I always liked the look of track bikes, so it's first configuration was single speed, single front brake. I rode it all over Chicago in the mid to late 70's that way. Never saw another like it and used to get compliments on the track bike look. When I moved to the Portland Oregon area in 1981 I turned it into a 10 speed.

I'm 5 11 and I have to admit it is a little large for me, but I made it work and it was a comfortable bike to ride.

Beauty! It is crying to be ridden after all the idle years.. Must be a big frame with that massive headtube.

my friend rocked an oversized frame for years, it worked... He had to lean it sideways a little bit when standing over it but he'd crush people on their carbon frames. Whatever. This frame is beautiful, I'd ride it even if it wasn't my size!
