I looked at that frame, but wondered to myself just how the hell you would build it?You can either go the route of convincing yourself and the world that it is an original (as somebody has already done) and put vintage parts on it, but then that seems weird to put really old parts on a brand new frame. Kind of like buying a brand new Ferrari, but putting wire wheels on it, replacing the modern interior with an old vinyl bench seat and making it start with a crank handle sticking out of the front grill.Or go the route of putting reproduction/retro/modern parts on it, but then that would be a waste of an expensive frame.
Era correct parts, either OG or repop. Yes its a replica, but i'm sure it'll look really cool when it's done. Looking forward to seeing it Jono.
Am I missing something has someone tried to pass one off as the real thing stidds
What you should do to make it look the part is get it painted in the colour you decide and then beat it a few times with a chain or the like to chip the paint and make it look worn.

Looking forward to seeing it Jono.Era correct? So modern parts as it is a brand new frame.Or 70s parts? Which isn't era correct.It is a toughie.Jono will no doubt do a sterling job on it, and it really is a nice piece of kit.I was just thinking about how I would build it personally and I wouldn't know what to do with it.
