Mmmm. T-bone with noodle. Love the color and the build. Check out the early 90s Crossroads in my profile for a slightly different take on this great steel bike.

Nice tires, may I ask how do they fit? I put 29x2.0 in my crossroads and it has less than a millimeter of clearance

Well, the Nine Lines are notoriously undersized. Add that to mounting them on Open Pro's and I think they were something like 47mm wide. A bit close but completely rideable. The dude I sold it to is riding 29x2.0 Race Kings and those also fit nicely. Biggest problem are the short chainstays, you can always crimp the chainstays but getting more clearance to the seattube is harder!
