This build comes already six months into a painful saga of trying to build a nice lightweight steel racer. I faffed with a 653 frame that turned out to be rusted through. With a heavy heart I decided to abandoned it.
Then the stars aligned and I and bought an even better frame from from @Jingle_Jangle, this Vernon Barker in Columbus Neuron tubing:
I also have a Vernon Barker tandem which is zipping along nicely, so this frame will continue a theme in my garage. Only I don't really have a garage LOL.
The aim for this build is just to build the whippiest, zippiest, lightest bike I can manage, in a MGOOF format.
And it will have a ridiculous fluoro paint scheme.
