Finally riding a big boys bike
I'd like to do a TOC project as these bikes are super cool and I love the time period and the lines of the bikes. I don't want a museum piece but rather a bike I can actually ride, and ride in the mountains at that. I live in steep country. I'd like to use mostly period parts along with maybe a 2 speed kickback hub and 700c wheels. I'm kind of just looking for a neat, fun to ride TOC bike that won't break the bank. Does a $600-$700 budget sound reasonable? Any recommendations for frame type, brand, model?
Also these frame seem to be typically pretty tall. I have a 29 1/2" inseam. Can I realistically fit on a 24" TOC frame? Here's a couple projects I've been considering:
