Beautiful! Nice restauration work too. I recently acquired a Follis frameset of similar vintage, this really inspires me to get on with the restauration!

The picture of bike leaning of Fence was taken when I rode the Blue Ridge Park Way. It was wonderful ride. No trucks allowed, lower speed limits, and mostly good roads compared to riding the roads here in Indiana. (Just watch out for the RV's)
