The state of the powdercoat was bad. A lot of chipped of pieces. It had to be painted again. But then, why not have it changed a little by a framebuilder before spraying. I could think of some enhancements. I am a patient man, so I went for it.
Even my patience was tested I must say. This spring I got the frameset back.
Entrance in downtube for internal light cabling
Mount for a lock on the seatstays
I had the canti studs removed. New studs brazed on for Mafac Racer. Those open up when braking, should be better with mudguards. Should improve braking performance with Campa Ergo levers, when compared to cantilevers.
Custom cablestop
Mount for a Pletscher kickstand
Extra eyelet on front fork, so mudguard and low rider don't have to share a single eyelet. Eyelet isn't in the center of rotation, so if the mudguard breaks during riding, it shouldn't lock the wheel up and throw me over the bars.
Also visible one of the three little pieces to tie up the dynohub cable to the inside of the forks.
Mount for a little frontrack that will accept a handlebarbag.
Mafac Racer studs on front fork
Not visible in the picture: mount in the fork crown for mudguard. No more L brackets!
