Amazing. I love, love the paint scheme. The bits of rust, chips in the paint, and wearing of the stickers adds to the beauty of the bike.
Great googly moogly!

I picked this up off of Craigslist last year from a (rather tall) man in rural Pennsylvania. He had it built up to race in the Trexlertown velodrome in the 90's. The stem it came with was custom-made chromo that was 150 mm long.
I have just been ogling this bike as it hangs on the wall since it is too tall for me to ride. I would keep it forever like that but I'm moving overseas, so it has to go. These pics are the last hurrah of sorts before I let it move on.
where do you live and how much?
I drooled.
it is absolutely perfect. its literally the bike of my dreams.
I love it. Beautiful bike.
