Notes:

holy crap this bike is fast! the frame (circa '65) was for 27" wheels with touring geometry, but with 700c wheels and 700c fork on, the front end is dropped, and the head and seat tubes are nice and steep for nimble handling. the long back end means the acceleration is great too. 18lbs!

and, the wheels are extremely fly too.

oh yeah, and it's for sale. buy it!!!

This bike is hard to miss. Keeps cropping up, yet I haven't seen it anywhere but online since pre-historic times, as in, before Mastodons walked North Jersey.

If I didn't have the flu I would take my own advice:
Go Ride a Bike.
