Gentle folk,
I bought this International frame that had sat in a shed for about 25 years, after it was parted for its Campagnolo kit. I painted it to match my wife's Robin Hood 5 speed, put new H. Lloyd transfers under the clear coat, converted a 1976 AW hub to S5 configuration, built new 27" Sun rims up with stainless spokes, and threw a whole bunch of alloy parts at it, the better to pedal my old butt up that killer hill at Bay City, along the Lake Pepin 3 speed Tour. Photos of my last project, since the SBF meltdown, if you have seen these prior, my apologies. My son rode his 1969 DL-1 Roadster, the version with the 8" crank arms. Definitely for the young.

Good to be back!

Ted
