Albert Eisentraut was sort of the granddaddy of American frame builders, so
perhaps him. Tom Ritchey built fine lugged frames in his early days. But
Tweed shorts are spoken for.

Yes, really sad to see the change in size. I was just about to offer a
Slickersack, Platrack, and two pair of tweed cycling shorts. :)

Very cool.
Wouldn't it be cool if they had a whole line of "Silver" branded components?
Could deck out the whole frameset with complete Silver build.
Wonder if they will only sell these rings from now on at RBW?
Glad to know there is a place where I can buy rings for my favoritest

LOL, that's true Ryan that some of those CL listings are truly absurd,
particularly in the Bay Area.

Hey Michael,
How are you liking the 620 as a conversion? I'm wondering about doing a
similar route with a 1983 620, and I'd be interested to hear your
