I "know" a drop bar conversion would be great on this old Stumpy... here is my Lugged "87 Comp with 46cm Noodles, Brooks etc. http://www.flickr.com/photos/37347002@N05/7089294979/in/photostream ...mines a 58 frame with a 59.5 top tube. I did cheat a little as it was missing a fork. Had Chauncey Matthews make a nice biplane fork with 55mm rake for me and add rear canti mounts. Just a blast to ride. And great for some off-road s24o's.
