Thanks! Saturdays during the summer are always a toss-up...whether to go fishing, biking, or hit the yard sales...

That fork crown is beautiful.

That's a real beauty. This is the second white frame with black decals I've seen recently and I'm digging the simplicity of the color combination.

White + Black = Classy

It was originally built as a team bike for a Zinn/Alfalfa/Shimano team rider in a fuschia color...was apparently repainted after race duty and sold...

You can still see traces of the original color here and on the chainstay...

I had to come back for another look at this. Such a great looking bike and nice to know a bit of it's history too

Thanks guys! It's a joy to look at, and even better to ride.

Excuse my ignorance, is there a lock ring missing here as well?
