I've uploaded some photos of my 1926 Selbach frameset, still in its original nickel (and rust), go to:

It was built in November 1926, the month and year my father was born, and I reckon the frame and my Dad are in pretty much similar condition - battered and worn, but still hanging in there. I hope that wasn't too disrespectful to the Selbach.
