What size are they and what method are you trying to use to upload?

Not sure. I just take pictures with my phone and attach the files. If it happens again, I'll shoot you a message on it.

Currently I am waiting for the appropriate seatpost clamp to arrive. Once it does, I can secure the seatpost, and get the frame in the stand.

As I've been aiming to acquire one of these for some time, I have been collecting bits needed to build one for when I finally found a frame. I'm hoping to not have to buy much at all for this build, and to use what I've got on hand.

That frame is just too cool

Sorting through smalls to figure out some options...
For drive train I want to do 5 speed. Although the 'production' version used a shimano 600 derailleur, the Trail Master catalog suggests Suntour V-GT. Checking the era appropriate stash of Suntour I've got, I happen to have one. Going through some thumbies, and I've got a mighty shifter or two to pick from. I do tend to prefer the Suntour power shifters. But they weren't available until '83, so I'll stick with a mighty.
I know I've got a Suntour 'perfect' freewheel somewhere, just need to dig it out.
