Yesterday Tom Kellogg of Spectrum Cycles fame called to e-mailed to advise my 30th Anniversary frame is done and ready to ship. Build will use mostly period parts (except for things like brake calipers and handlebars where there are classic looking modern versions available which work much better than their late-70s, early 80s ancestors).
