Good gracious, that's a very pretty bike.
Congrats. |
Very nice. How do you like the Velo Masters? I swapped a set of Pacella's out for the Masters. I'll never go back.

Unridden as of now. They sure are plush to handle/mount. |
can't beat that with a STICK, first class all the way!
I'd go back to Ed Litton and ask him for some touch-up paint so you can dab those little chips...he fixed me up with a tiny jar way back in the day but thankfully have never had any chips (yet) to touch-up. |
Thanks for posting these shots. Such a pretty bike

Wizards varied a bit, this one is at the top end of the scale I think.
I would have filled the window on the chain stay socket, note that the chain stay bridge does not have reinforcements. This bike got a lot of file time. Do the dropouts have washers braze in place tho thicken up the section at the rear axle? |

Harry Quinn was the first brand I saw with this feature, circa 1973. Not to say who started doing that but it was far from universal, extra effort. |
Man, that's sweet. Still looking for a Wizard in 56-58...

Mike and Brian's total production number was not that big. Less than 100 before the 35th anniv. Frames |
....and do not hesitate. I saw the PSA, called, gave them my CC-no negotiation, and done deal. Maybe ten minutes.

Yeah, I know they are few and far between. Have a dandy Howard-built Medici with truly
lovely paintwork, but would love to have a Wizard. |
Nice.
Where was the PSA? In the eBay thread? Great catch! |

A joy to behold! :love:
It'll probably ride OK, too. ;) |

I was a little slow on the build :) But it was fun. The details are gorgeous. I'm with @repechage - fill in that round hole in the chainstay socket of the shell with a dab of white paint. I love the seat cluster most of all. Yours is only the second frame (the other was a Bruce Gordon) I've ever seen where the top point was filed that thin. Beautiful. DD |

Beautiful. How's about a full bike shot at some point? Congrats and enjoy.

That's fantastic.
