Built by Mark for Mark, at Davidson in '85 or '86, I forget. ST 59 cm to top (side of lug, not the point in front) (about 23¼") 58 to center TT 57 cm HT 158.5 mm Steerer 200.5 mm frame weighs 1635 g = 3.60 lb fork weighs 575 g = 1.27 lb total 2210 g = 4.87 lb TT is Prestige .8/.5 (1") DT is Prestige single-butted .9/6 (intended as a seat tube), butt at the HT end only ST is Prestige .7/.4 double-butted (intended as a down tube) Rear stays are Columbus SL. Seatstays are "biconico", capped with a thin piece of tubing - not the solid, heavy plugs used by many builders. Right chainstay & seatstay are mooshed to a "D" section right at the dropout for freewheel clearance - that isn't material ground away (making them weak); the existing metal is shaped that way for clearance. Fork blades are Prestige Steerer is unbutted Excell (French? Swiss? I forget... supposedly some super-hi-strength steel) Head lugs are Eisho, seat lug is Ohtsuya BB shell & crown are Takahashi, cast by Hitachi (note the Hitachi logo in the shell. The crown, called "HNR" by Takahashi, for "Hitachi Nagasawa Road", is normally solid and a good bit heavier. I drilled it crosswise with a 1/2" drill making it hollow, and lathe-turned the top down, making a shoulder for the headset race seat and also further lightening it. Note also the spot-facing on the front of the crown, eliminating the need for the radius washer on the brake bolt The front dropouts are plug-style, with the plugs hollow and drilled through such that the vent hole is pressed up against the front hub axle. (With the vent at the very bottom like this, there is no way for a puddle to form, if rainwater or condensation gets in.) These are just about the lightest possible steel dropouts (though Art Stump's hybrid steel/aluminum pieces are probably lighter). Silver brazed except for the dropouts and the seatstay caps, which are brass brazed.
