My 46 Continental build just arrived, and this frame is cracked as well. Uggh!
I had such high hopes for this one, and now I’m just going to pull the plug on it.
I’ll be in the market for a good quality version of the same, if any of you guys spot one.
I’m not in the mood to try and repair this one, since it’s original condition was such an important part of the build.
I’m over it now.[/QUOTE]

Are you absolutely sure that's not superficial with just paint cracking? I've seen cracks like that and when the paint was removed it was actually nothing to be worried about.
 
I looked at it with a magnifying glass, and it looks like it’s a crack.
It is right at the edge of the brazing joint, so it could just be a separation in the paint.
At this point, I don’t have that much to lose, so I may just build it up and see how it goes.
I don’t think it’s the type of thing that would result in a catastrophic failure.
It just took a little bit of the wind out of my sails.

Oh man, I was looking forward to seeing this build, sorry to hear that Marty.
 
I got this one yesterday. It had Victor rat trap pedals on it so I put on a pair of Unions for now. I also put on new brake shoes and lubed it up. I have not checked the serial number yet, the rear hub is stamped 52. The dynohub works and the bike rides nice. I'm not sure if I'll leave the rack on it. If it is a 52, what are the correct pedals? Is the Brooks seat a replacement? I'm assuming the dynohub and lights are dealer installed accessories.
