Frame up: either the newer (by minutes or hours) CapO (named after company founder and owner, Otto Cap) Sieger or the Carlton Franco-Suisse
Both are full Reynolds 531, with double-butted main triangle


All stripped down and ready to rebuild.

Repainted Capo Sieger frame, serial number very close to that of my other Sieger, so who was I to say no to it?

The chrome and original blue paint on the Carlton is nice, but so is the Rathausmann on the seat tube of the Sieger.
