Frame Xmas "Tree"

[HPL]

Building my frame tree again. Saves a real tree and let's me know what is lurking in the corners of the shed. I've not done it in awhile so missing the top half of the stand (normally holds 4 complete bikes, but I can easily put a dozen frames on it). When inside I'll weave a string of lights through it for better effect.

Most were stripped of parts to build other bikes. The K-M is a GentsLux in excellent condition that is getting parts come the new year, as I already have a buyer for it. I think it's lighter than some of stripped frames even with the BB and headset installed. It nearly looks like cromovelato though anodized aluminum.

I'll add a couple more once I get it inside the house with the top piece added (about 7' tall). Presently: rear orange frame is a Chiementin club bike (late 60s frame repainted w/added bottle mount); green/white fake "Rossin" (but a nice Perego frame, Colnago builder); blue Van Herwerden "Special"; front orange Vetta built w/swallow panto's; gold Moser; silver Paolo Gaburro, red Koga Miyata Gentslux.

My favorite is the Van Herwerden Special. Just looking at makes want to build it back up with top parts even though I think it was entry to mid level.
