Looking really good so far, might want to push the seat clamp up so it's flush with the top of the seat tube though; it reduces any stress on around the bottom of the slit in the tube

Nice, i like that but i think it needs some pads $:-\$ ( only my opinion though)

I think sawzall has some NOS yellow tuff pads for sale.

Pads as in brake pads?

Yeah i was thinking about a padset, maybe a plain ish black one just to tone it down a little..?

Ill pm him about the tuff pads.

Thanks

dib dobs

Seriously A, it's a beautiful thing. As you know, it's right up my street

Great job but I'd just see if you can get that seat back over the guts a bit more.

If you ever decide to move it on I'll look forward to your PM

Glynnyboy · « **Reply #19 on:** June 18, 2011, 09:23 PM »

that frameset looks mint

is it a nos f&f or has it been re-chromed?

ThisBitterPill · « **Reply #21 on:** June 18, 2011, 10:27 PM »

That brings back memories.....

My LBS stocked a lot of Tioga stuff and I seem to remember one of these framesets in the shop....

Very nice....
