My Second tier is probably a third tier.

A Crescent that looks like a PX-10, white with black checkerboard. WCS stripes, VarldMasternCyclen on the TT. Workmanship, well lets just say no files were harmed in the making of This bike. The lugs are gold lined, but the line painter and the lug Guy could not agree where the points should be. So the painter put The lug outlines where they should have gone.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Of course, a Crescent, a fine ride, all of which must have been built in the dark during TGIF. There was an orange one in Corvallis OR in the mid-1970s with a really unique snaggle-tooth lower head lug: split right in the center, and spread out. Of course, the 531 DB Sears would give it a run for the money for sheer assembly crudeness. Both substantially worse overall than the famed Bottechia squashed stay treatment at the rear dropouts.

have I offended enough folks yet? :-)
