I will take some close-ups tonight, I promise!
PS- on the bars, I'd consider moustaches maybe, but not sure what reaches and widths those come in? Seem to be a bit bigger. I might eventually go to barcons- we'll have to see how I get on with the downtubers. Haven't had downtube shifters since my 3rd bike- 10sp Ross 70s bike that I had for a few years- maybe when I was 11 or so!

mayanorange - Fern is a beauty. I love the contrast of that green with those chromed stays and lower fork.

She's not butted steel, but the main triangle is Reynolds 531 and she has aluminum wheels. You guys are going to love the lugs. She's so dainty compared to the OS modern tubing!
Plans are (once the handlebars are where they belong) a new saddle (well, maybe a vintage if the Middlemore one I scored on ebay is wide enough for me), hand-sewn leather bar covers (oh darn, I have some extra leather sitting around), then we move on to sweet chrome fenders and bottle rack (she's going to be a commuter BTW). Can't make her look too cute tho, or somebody will swipe her! But that goes against my design aesthetics.... *sigh*Support me in my fight against MS as I ride the Cape Cod Getaway MS150!

As much as I love riding my aluminum bike (with a few carbon parts), I have to admit that the old steel frames are so beautiful and clean looking.
And that green! That's just one extraordinarily beautiful bike!
(Close ups, please)

She's a beaut! I was going to suggest wood fenders with the green and flecks/hints of gold:

You're right Trek! That green is just crying for wood fenders!
