Ron Mc's link shows a bike with Dia-Compe centerpulls. I linked to photos

One more thought, depending on your time and ambition and preferences --
maybe get yourself to Fairfax, start your ride there, and play in the
country roads around Nicasio, Valley Ford, back through Pt Reyes. High
quality roads, and you've cut out the urban.

That singular is pretty nice. Especially the one with the chromey chainstay.
For those that can fit on a level TT bike thats a nice one. For a roadbike

What you're talking about is something like the Soma Stanyan Road Sport
frameset:
A LHT stock complete is now approaching $1400 based on a $470 msrp frame. I'm
not sure how you start with a $700-1000 frame and ala carte parts and keep it
south of $2000 complete. The way to lower prices is to buy in bulk, not make
the lugs plainer.
