Yep, unrestored, yep, from Blue’s collection but, this particular bike is a Miami, oddly enough, NOT a Racycle, he also has a Racycle factory racer in French Grey and another Pacemaker in the Gun Metal Blue.

Here is some bold blue and silver stripe original paint. I don't know the make; there is an unfortunate dent where the head badge was lost. The frame has mono seat and chain stays, and a Fauber crank set. It is otherwise typical late-TOC with oversize thin-wall tubing, internal lugs, and nickel at the fork crown, dropouts, and elsewhere. The frame-set and cranks are original; the rest is bits and pieces. I'd love to identify this bike. I've ridden it on many century rides.
