More Info:
Found the bike on Craigslist in rough shape for $40 .Cleaned the frame up , shaved all braze ons, and filled holes with epoxy putty . It's painted with appliance epoxy. After fitting some 25c tires I realized it looked awful with the huge tire clearance , so I stuffed some 40mm tires in there. Turns out most old road bikes built with 27in wheels can fit up to 42mm tires! Foot retention is on the way

thanks! yup, I placed aesthetics over all else on this one, but it still turned out to be a fun ride. Still getting used to the brakeless setup though
