Hi all. I got this is a Japanese "Mister Cycle" branded 28" truss frame still commonly found around here. I got the frame as an extra freebie during a trade.

What i really like about the Mr.Cycle truss frames are the really cool truss rods.
Here is an OG paint example from the 1950s sitting in an antique shop 5 mins from my place:

Anyway, decided to give this a sort of 1919 truss frame Harley vibe but with ratrod wheels. Here it is now. Still waiting for an old sol carbide lamp in the mail and for the original long spring seat to get back from cleaning.

Thanks! It's got 700 x 38c tires, aluminium rims. Its slow with a 20:40T gear ratio, but it rides really smooth.
