if you buy some lugs, then go to blackpool I'm sure you could make one.

there was a new bamboo frame on ebay very recently, in fact IIRC there is a company in the US that makes them. Is this yours???

 

[cchris2lou]

I think the BB is seized .

hey guys, this belongs to my boss, king salsa decided to show you guys, we got it a little while ago, genuinely from 1897! we even managed to get a catalogue for it!!!!

the bamboo is a little split in places as you can see, infact you can actually see through the seatube in places!!

thought you guys might appreciate it!!

just another artifact we come across!
