I think I looked thru the advert thoroughly - but can you let me know: crank arm length is 172.5mm (i think i can see that in a pic)
- what size tire you runnin'? Can the frame clear a 700c X 33.33333mm tyre?
That looks like 6 spd uni-glide, so 126mm rear spacing on the frame?

OK - lovely bike. Someone else buy it please.

$325 and an hour away...... i really don't need another bike..... (you and the Marius guy... so many nice builds so close.....)

Yes, 172.5 cranks and 126 spacing and nice 6 speed uniglide. I didn’t look real close at clearance but these first versions would have room for 28s I think. I doubt very much 32-33s though. Those are some nicely rated 25s on it now with a fair bit of room. You perhaps didn’t look real carefully at the ad as I posted I would take $300 without the seat. I am in NW Toledo if that makes the drive any easier or less confusing.

I’ll be walking around with this at the Monroe Michigan big swap meet on May 7th if anyone is tempted at all.

Sold

Sold this one today. A nice young man of about 40 drove from the southern Michigan area to buy this. He is an avid biker but not really C&V although he said he recently purchased a vintage British 3 speed. He has modern go fast bikes and wanted to try something from this era. It looks to have gone to a good home.
