That's my bike. If anyone is interested, there are much better pics on my website:
http://www.sciencemonster.net/
The paint is pretty sad, but still, it's pretty darn old. I hate to let it go, but I haven't ridden it since I found a beautiful old chrome-lugged '69 Competition in my size. I'd be up for a trade, also, if it was something old and British. And bigger.
Can I say that on the list? Sorry if I violated a policy.
