That's a cool finish. Is it some kind of heat treatment or paint? And can anybody explain why the rails on repro flites have more stack height than the older ones?
Just an observation but have noticed the edges of some original flites fouled by people slamming the saddle too far front or back, depends on the shape of the seatpost clamp as well I guess. Could be an attempt to remedy that and allow people to use the full length of the rails
Finished up my fast bike last week. Still getting a few things dialed in but so far so good.
