CR List,
My desire to see this great frame go to someone who is an enthusiast of 3Rensho outweighs my desire for any profit on it. If you have interest in this frame, contact me and we will discuss a fair price. While this woul d be a really fun bike to ride, I promised my wife I wouldn't keep it too long, and the more parts I hang on it the more I'm getting crazy ideas o f keeping it. I am also locating a new front tire as the one currently on the bike has failed due to a cut in the side wall. I have posted new photo s on my wooljersey page showing this bike up against a 56ctt traditional ge ometry frame to better show the geometry / length / height of front headset / etc. Full details of the frame below from my original post that some ma y have missed during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

frameset based on the serial number (A956-590), frame is beautiful> ly fi
llet brazed with the exception of the traditional lugged contruction a> t t

blue paint scheme matches the team colors of that era as well. Frame siz> e
is 56.5cm ctc seat tube, with a 59cm effective top tube. Frame has ver>
tical Campagnolo dropouts, over the bottom bracket cable routing, takes

Ac> e AX, left is a 600EX lever), Campagnolo Record bottom bracket (spi
ns s> mooth with no play) and Campagnolo C-Record (or very similar) headset
(also> in good condition). Also, I am including the 24" front wheel whic
h cons> ists of an American Classic hub laced to an Araya ADX4 tubular rim
, 24 bl> aded spokes are laced radially. The Vittoria Juniors 24" tire wi

have a sour> ce for that size tubular. Paint condition is in over all good

wax to protect and > brighten. Inside the tubes look very clean from what I
can see. > > Photos of the frame can be seen on my wooljersey account here

I am asking $480 (or best reasonable offer) + shipping for the frameset,
> front wheel and mentioned parts. I have a bike box here which should fit
t> he frame easily, but I need to see if I can get the wheel in there as
wel> l safely. I will lovingly pack the frame for free, so only actual sh
ippi> ng charges above the frame price. (I'll also add in a Dura-Ace 12-21
7sp f> reewheel at asking price if you can use it!).> > > > Jon Fischer> Da
