Frame first, purchased at the Seattle Bike Swap with original Hans Ohrt shop sticker. I brazed bottle cages on it then sent it to Groody Brothers for powder coat, decals and clear coat. One of my kids has an artistic bent and recreated the decal, with an assist from @AZORCH. The seat post came from an earlier round of the BOC, I needed some pedals for toe clips and straps to be Eroica compliant. I had a set of quill style, but my feet are too wide for those to work comfortably. The ol' track pedal trick came into play when the BOC dropped at the Atelier with a great set by MKS.

The BOC has a way of knowing what you need and providing.
