That's some find. That's probably an old 6-day racer. The tires were actually shellacked onto those rims. Save the rims, but those frames(poss. Reynolds, butted) were supposed to be built like a brick shithouse. Good-luck with the project.

That era's long forgotten but it'd put anything we know or have to shame. Those were supposed to be some wild times.
