Lovely. Paint scheme reminds me of the famous Crane Brothers and their travel books from the mid-late 80s (there's where 753 frames).

Never heard of them but looks interesting, I will look out for the book if it's still in print. And wafer thin 753 frames with panniers and crap roads??!!! wonder how well the frames stood up ?

They wanted to travel as light as possible. I recall they even cut their eating fork, knife and spoon handles off to save weight, only took the inner refil of a biro to write with, and only took 1 pair of underwear!
I believe the forks were 531 but main frames were for sure 753.
