Greg,

You got a gorgeous frame in very nice condition. Perhaps the listmembers could ID the model and comment on the lugs? Are those Bill Hurlow specials? Don't worry about the price. The high-end restoration process can be just as or more expensive, especially your frame with the chrome and ornate lugs. I've been there, done that. Plus yours has an original finish which is always better, IMHO. If the frame had been just a little smaller I'd have been bidding against you.
