One of a few frames now that I've built in my basement. This was actually the first one I brazed up but it's been sitting as I saved for parts. The lugs are the first-generation Rivendell Road lugs that I salvaged from a secret stash at Waterford, where I used to work. Paint is a powdercoat base with rattlecan over the top ("oregano" and "paprika" are the colors). The lettering was all cut out of masking tape and rubbed down a little for the worn-in look. Thanks for checking the bike out.

Always surprised to read "I built this" referring to the frame. Good job. Nice to see. Enjoy.
