I got a big box in the mail. My quarantine build
So here my quarantine build that I got in the mail today. Here the Caylor frame and chrome fork. It is Reynolds 531 tubing and fork is also 531. Can’t wait to build up this beautiful bike. More to come with pictures

Nice frame and fork, would really like to see the sort of metallic blue in the full sun. I, also, have a quarantine build to get started on. I purchased a NIB Soma Smoothie frame and Smoothie CF fork, I have a full 105 7000 groupset and a new set of Pro-lite wheels. I am off, I drive a school bus, for at least another week, but I strongly suspect it will be longer than that. I am hearing that part of the discussion is staying closed until after the scheduled time off for spring break, mid April. I know that closing for the rest of the school year is certainly possible. I hope to get started on the Soma over this weekend. I am trying to get some chores completed, and get some extra miles on a bike.

Prugnat 62/s.
What year is it?
Have one also. It is metallic beige/light brown 52cm from about 1976.
"The pride of Modesto!"
"Show me your Gunnar!"
