Very impressive. I am a huge fan of the 62 typhoon, that twin bar style of frame was only made for one year.

What chain are you running? It complements all the other shiny bits nicely.

I'm a bit late to the party, but this Typhoon is awesome! Did you make the brake mounting fixture for welding?

That’s a better brake mount jig than what I came up with.
