I got this frame from a fellow RetroBiker. It didn't come with a fork, so I found a Cannondale Pepperoni to paint and bolt on. The frame measures as a 21", but it still was a little small for me. So instead of cutting the steerer tube, I had to leave the length and use a s-load of spacers. Doesn't look as I would like, but it does the job. Actually, it looks goofy as hell.
I should mention, this is a bike I will keep in my cube at work, ride to the store, etc. So I don't know how far I will take this build. I used a lot of parts I had lying around. The front Nuke Proof hub needs rebuilding, so if anyone has bearings for that, let me know. The saddle is temporary. Not comfortable at all.
I had to add more threads to the fork and no one in my area had a 1 1/4" die to cut the threads. Thankfully, danson67 came through. I was able to send the forks to him, have him cut the new threads and get it back to me.
