In the years I’ve been doing this this is the first time this has happened. I got the tubes cut and the lugs prepped for a bike and right before I was about to braze it the customer had to cancel the order. A sad thing to be sure. I decided that since I was this far that I’d complete the frameset and offer it up for sale here.

It’s a lugged frame and fork set with a 57 c-c seat tube and a 57 top tube and 73* seat angle. I’ll be completing it by April 29th and it will then be ready to go off to Joe Bell for paint and the new owner will get to pick the color.  Current turn around for one of my bikes in paint is about 10 weeks and the owner will take delivery as soon as the bike comes out of paint. The painted frameset can be had as is or can I can build it up into a ready to ride complete bike for you if you wish. 

My current wait for newly placed orders is about 9 months so whoever gets this will be getting a bike about 6 1/2 months early. The price is $2900 if the bike is painted in a single color. If you want something other than  single color paint scheme let me know and I can quote you a price on your idea.

Normally when I build a bike I send photos on a daily basis to the owner but in this case there isn’t one so I’ll be posting them here. As of today, Friday the 24th, the front triangle is complete and ready to have the rear end added. This will happen on Monday the 27th so look for updates at that time.

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Dave
