This was a summer project in NYC 2012.
Stripped and sanded the frame, found some vintage decals.
Got lucky with the gear ratio on those drop outs. My finest work so far.
Always on the look out for the elusive "93 track frame

dents

Are those dents on the top tube just forward of the seat cluster?
Keep an eye on them if they are.
For future, chemical strippers do a much better job than sanding, and the finish is nicer.
