I was going to do this bike after the annual build off, but there's another frame in the wings I want to do also, so this one will get done. I picked up this unused frame, like my others, from a junkpile in town. The big bike shop in town went out of business and chucked the unsold frames. So they sat for at least a few years until I showed up and bought 7 of them at about 5 bucks a pop. 3 have been built, 2 chopped up, leaving just this one which will be easier to build. One of the chain stays was bent from having a ton of junk piled on top but I think I have that fixed.
I'm going to try to touch up the paint with some acrylic paint and see if it can stay with the original paint.
At the bike shop I had the rims trued up. I just laced them up the other day with a set of red hubs that were in the pile of parts.
