Bought the frame at Denver VeloSwap a couple years ago. Unfortunately, someone had taken sandpaper to the original Maroon paint on the downtube. So, I elected to paint it myself. I added a new set of Mavic track wheels, along with scrounging my parts box and eBay, and the end result is here to see. I've since added in the Regal saddle, flop & chop the bars and added a cross brake lever.
