Nice pictures, and beautiful bike! How does it ride? I never noticed this before, but it's sort of interesting how yours has brake cable guides under the top tube, and later models used clamps instead. The bare frame looks great without the cable guides, but that doesn't help if you use a rear brake! (let's not go there!)
