snipped:
A faithful restoration that replaces a bent tube probably rides more like the original than an un-repaired bike.
despite the fact that this list is populated with
some kof's, a faithful restoration is not always
that accessable; the original folk from the CR list
timeline have long since forsaken what we call
framebuilding and "went" nonferrous years ago.
their staffs no longer practice what the half
dozen or so here do. i think it's more likely
that you'll find a torchbearer that has no clue
re the lineage of frames such as the one in question
and would as easily add some henry james parts to
this repair as he would suggest h.t. cable adjusters.
this is reality...
