All this blah, blah, blah... what's vintage, why vintage, stop yelling at the newbs... jeebus... so here's a cool old bike to look at... Many of you have already seen it, some here have even owned it, but I figured I'd share it again anyways.
A picture of a vintage bike! Clear photos that show the details! So clear and comprehensive that they act not only as eye candy but as reference material.
You mean that if you add cross members to a Phoenix it would like Valkyrieish??
Always wondered about the rack mounts myself, kinda lazy to leave them on like that if you ask me
The bike is meant for a u-brake, so when I first set things up I ran the cable on one side only (would have been better with a TC instead of an RC). I have since adjusted the brake cable routing to use both guides:
Was on FFB's site, and noticed they has one for sale. Bit too much dough for me right now, but cool to see none the less.
So, without sounding newbish, and with knowledge it was built by someone who knew what they were doing, why are the head tube brazes so lumpy compared to say, a Ritchey? Just a hard area to get smoothed down so why bother?
