Very nice build. Outdoor shots would be good! I like drillium & high flange too. My 1974ish Ron Kitching came with lots of factory drillium: drilled first gen Dura Ace brake levers, a drilled Crane rear derailleur and a drilled Titlist front, and a drilled Sugino 52/47 crankset. I like it

I am sure about the weight. I have a Park DS-1 bike scale. I weighed it when I took the photos. I coated the inside of the frame. The wide B-68 is heavier than a B-17, The stem is steel. The 105 rear derailleur has steel parts. The Noodles are the widest width I could get. It has 44 mm wide

Too hard to rustproof I haven't personally drilled any holes in anything, but I did consider getting a kickstand and going after it with the drill press. On Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 2:34:42 PM UTC-4, LBleriot wrote: > Why not drill out that second top tube? > > >> >> -- You received

Those high flange hubs are so pretty. Why no closeup of the rear one...? --Ed C. On Tuesday, October 24, 2017 at 5:43:56 AM UTC-7, lconley wrote: > > This is as close as I get to a racing bike these days. Kind of an tribute > to the drillium bikes of my youth. I love the giant drilled high
