While I was working at Velo Sport in Berkeley in 1963 a customer came in
with one of these frames for us to check out. He very tolerantly allowed me
to pull the fork, seatpost, and bottom bracket out so I could maybe see what
was going on in the joints of the frame.
>From the outside of the frame you could just see tiny fillets (like tig
welding) but looking inside the frame there were short reinforcements. I was
VERY intrigued by this as a construction method (which I think Schwinn had
also used a some point).
The fork was nice but fairly conventional and wasn't really a stylistic match to the frame. Too bad.
Components? My customer just brought in the frame so I couldn't say but I'd guess the components were standard Keirin issue for a Kerin bike.
