That really is proper nice!!!

Love the old handbuilt CroMo frames! So much more comfortable than the alloy or carbon frames and the workmanship on some of the older bikes makes you wonder how they made any money at all on them.

Is the switchgear indexed or is it proper oldschool?

Now go completely silly and tear the brakes off, get rid of the freewheel and build a single-speed setup ;)
