That looks more like an early Competition frame to me. The Comp had Zeus dropouts at one point, but IIRC the Pro never did. Anyone know otherwise? Greg "1969 brown Pro" Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan

Greetings campers and patina oozers
An odd combination of events, seeing some horribly abused old bikes this
weekend, and accidentally stumbling across a website selling a John
Hartford Model banjo, started me pondering the probabilities and
possibilities that somebody might issue a "Larry Osborn Model" rusty piece
o crappe vintage lugged steel bicycle when I die, or just go away and quit
annoying people. If it were to happen, good chance it might look
something like this:

Makes my trusty rusty Pro look almost patina-free by comparison. Suddenly I'm much less embarassed by the condition my old pal is in. But suddenly I've seen the future (or at least a possible future), so I also feel the need to do something nice for it. Chasing down "new" wheels for it last week, but it doesn't know that yet. Friends don't let friends rust. Wax on. Wax off.
