It's red, older than me and needs a french-threaded bottom bracket: my new frame.
A 70s vintage Gitane road frame, to be more precise.
Getting this built is gonna be FUN. So much so in fact, that I will be blogging the whole damned thing. I may even get some pictures of it.
I definitely need to clean the frame off with a degreaser... there's years of grime and oil deposits on the metal... and I'm not sure about the forks... the action is a little stiff when I attempt to steer, hopefully it's just a bearing needing to be repacked or something similar going on there. If not, new forks for me.
This ride will be downright sick when I have finished with it. It may even be dope (as the kids have long ago stopped saying).
