Yeah, me too. It reminds me of a cycle truck. What else do you do with those besides hang them on the wall as interesting oddities in cycling history?

It does certainly look a lot better than anything with a Crust Clydesdale fork on it

I would love to ride one of these someday. I know it wouldn't be super comfortable, but I think it would be a blast for little 20 mile rocket ship rides.

Probably 56 then. I had a 58 Passage and the head tube was a bit longer than this.

I saw this yesterday and texted the seller. Following up today but not sure about this one. The CL listing is near Phoenix but the number is from 800 miles away in Colorado Springs. Asked for the S/N but he said he couldn't readily check as it was already boxed and ready to ship. Hmmm... Doing some more footwork.

For tubing info try contacting Scott at Blue Wheel in Charlottesville VA. I'm sure he can answer any questions you may have on how he builds his stuff.
