"To each his own" includes my opinion about how vintage lightweights should
be approached. It's a personal preference on my part, not an edict. The
topic as concerns this frame is muddy anyway: "Period" in this case
includes some pretty "modern"-operation Shimano and Suntour bits. Just
sayin.

To be clear, Campy SR on the Kellogg is friction only. That stuff came
much later. Except for the couple of rides I have never used it.

It is a beauty. I would make it a rider. Better braking and shifting with
more modern components. Cranks look like they're either Victory or
Triomphe. I bet they have a 130mm bcd which means the gearing may be kind
of high for mere mortals especially in hilly terrain. I don't think it's

I'm kinda purist about vintage lightweights. I think they should be kept in

Hmmmn. My response is rather different -- that it is quietly asking for

The treatment of the stay ends and fork ends is in the later style of Bruce
Gordon, making me wonder whether he might have built this particualr
example.
