Run it single/fixed or geared. VanDessel branded single/fixed wheelset included with fixed cog installed. Super sweet hard to find frame in really great shape. The curvy aluminum tubes will seduce you like burlesque dancer in a dimly lit smoke filled room....
The braze-on cable stops are removable, which is an interesting touch. It's something like a 53cm. I'm 5'7" and of average proportions and it fit me just fine as pictured. It rides real nice.
You get: Sweet frame/Carbon Fork/VanDessel brand wheelset/Headset/Brakes/front cable hanger/front derailleur (<-- this was hard to find)
$325 or interesting trades? I'm on an American bike kick right now...frameset, wheelset, ect...
Picture of it built with 10-speed Shimano 105:

Hi Harry,
I believe the picture shows 37c with room to spare. I will measure as best as I can later today and let you know.

Harry:
About 2.25" in the front between the inside of the fork blades
About 2.5" in the rear between the stays.
If you max the tire size out, you'll probably have to squeeze it through the brakes when it's deflated.
As pictured is 700x35 mounted on Open Pros. I'm pretty confident it would fit fenders with that wheel and tire setup. I remember reading on the internet of guys fitting 40c'ish tires on as well.
53cm c-t, 53cm c-c, 27.2 post, 1 1/8 threadless. |

If anyone has a decent quality road tubular wheelset I'd definitely be interested in a straight up trade. 8/9/10 speed Shimano/Sram compatible a plus, but Campy cassette splined ok too. |

That is a cool ride.
I wish I was a little bit smaller. |

Got a new project in mind and want this GONE.
FATS SPECIAL $250 for local delivery. Anyone else on the internet that stumbles across this, join FATS/IMBA and the same deal can be had for you.
You get:
Frame
Fork
Headset (a little gritty but nothing some new loose balls can't fix)
All removable "braze ons" for geared setup (HARD TO FIND)
Single/Fixed wheelset |

If I did not already have the Gin & Trombones I would be all over that. His cross frames are superb. |
