I've built this bike for quite a while now. I thought it would be a great gift for Pam, aside from the fact that she always hinted on getting one. It was supposed to be done by Valentine's day, but some of the parts didn't come through from the chromer.
Check out below for the complete bike check and more photos.
Kalloy risers cut to 41cm, on a 90mm NOS Shimano 600 stem. DiaCompe Goldfinger lever and Tektro caliper for the front brake.
This frame is made of hi-tensile, custom made by Ave Maldea. It is designed to run on 26" wheels, with 49cm Seat Tube and 51cm Top Tube. I sent it to Versa Powdercoating to have it painted white, only took them a day to finish it.
