I've made a little progress to date and have a better handle on where to go from here thanks to you guys. I still have a few important details to get to where I'll have a bunch more questions I'm sure but figured some pictures might be nice.
Here's that frame number from 1998. I've never seen cable routing like this. I'm not sure what kind of cables I might need to not wear excessively on the frame, anyone?
Exceptional craftsmanship on this frame
Here's where I am today
Lots of work to get here and a lot of planning and learning! Good Times!
