had my eye on this Finnish frame since moving here, love the color and it has surprisingly nice feel for a performance frame that also had to be marketed as a touring bike. Reynolds 531 tubes with Finnish steel rear triangle, apparently. Nice to have a Finnish bike and to have a light rim brake road bike again. Had bad luck finding a frame for years and finally got lucky with this one in incredible shape, with all original parts. Rear was already a bit wide so didn't have to cold set for 130 hub, and drilled out fork crown for recessed-bolt brake, but no other frame modifications for now. Frame seems like it may be a bit bent so may need to cold set rear to see if that fixes the problem. 10kg as built here
