Catnap’s International builds - let’s see ‘em!
Since Catnap sold a bunch of these recently let’s see what you’ve got.
My very rough assembly/trial fitting. Shifting bits still being decided on. Excuse the foam padding…

Exciting! I just discovered this thread this morning. I will have one build to add to it in the next few weeks/ months.

Here’s one I built up and sold to a gentleman at the Kutztown swap this past spring. His photos, not mine as I forgot to get my own and had to ask him via email after the sale:

I get virtually no credit for the set-up. About the only thing I changed after buying this from sloar about 4 years ago are the tires. I love that it had already been upgraded to bar-cons and a triple.
If I'm ever able to make it to Cino, this is what I intend to ride.

Nice, John. In terms of Cino, I'm thinking I might outfit the Int'l above as a single speed with drop bars for next year's Cino. It's all about the challenge!
