Thanks Sean,
I do plan to have it at least look period correct, but comfy bars that assist in me riding are far more important.
I appreciate the history and story behind the frame, but no need to drop a grand if I have not ridden the bike!
It'll turn out great and be taylored to me. I am fortunate it looks like I have a setup for a Brampton high flange for hubs and possibly some vintage rims as well. That coupled with some modern tires and slacker angles hopefully will be a joy to ride. Everything else will come together.
Appreciate the positive feedback. Feel lucky to have a kick-ass vintage frame and not have to settle for something mainstream.
Also I hope when all said and done I am under 25lbs! Not featherweight but I'm also 230 so weight is not an issue for me.
