Bought it, essentially at asking. Enjoying it very much so far (am new to
decent bicycles). It was fixed up by an Oakland artist who also does
rebuilds of classic steel frames. See www.brazenbicycles.com for some
nice-looking examples of his work.

Thanks, friend. I failed to mention how the varnish instantly highlights
the rings and spalted texture of the cork - IMO, makes it gorgeous.

For me they are just the right width in the curves. Width is similar to the
