I’m currently trying to kid myself that this will fit me when it’s finished but it’s almost certainly too big It’s going to break my heart.I had a frame from Dave in the late 70's/early 80's (can't remember exactly!) with that style of chunky seat stay.
Do you reckon not original then? There is only room for a 27x1 tire in the front fork, whereas the rear will take something much bigger.Interesting the forks don’t have mudguards eyes?
