1970s early aluminum frame and steel fork 57cm looks great . could be fixed gear? call joe 3902287
You might get better response on the inquiry sub-forum, but here's my two cents: I would request more detailed photos (or inspect personally), but $100 for a Super Record frame (assuming it does indeed look great) is a good deal. I bought a Record frameset (no headset) for €125 (about $180 USD), but it was NOS. It's not built up so I can't comment on the ride. The early Aluminum Anodized frames have a rep for being noodley at larger sizes, but at 57, I'm guessing it would be ok. There are some other AlAn owners on the forum who have complete bikes. If you do a search, there are a couple threads out there. Either way, not a great FG candidate as it has the brazed-on shifter bosses (not sure you'd want to Dremel aluminum even if you were into that).
