Velo-Dream ..... what a Beautiful bike!!! .. and I love "Sloping Top tube" bikes as you suggest this bike is.

But I'm not sure this one actually qualifies as a "Sloping Top Tube" though. I leveled out the photo and maybe with some more air in the front tire ( because it looks flat or low on air ) then it would actually level out a little more.

I attached a photo of a "Sloping Top Tube" ( I've been after this BSA for many years ) and for me it's what I personally consider a "Sloping Top Tube".

it is a top tube sloping bicycle but not as much "sloping " as this bsa bicycle

such a bsa bicycle was sold a few years ago on Ebay

Wow !

A LOT of work went into this restoration, HOW did the front tire valve wind up 'one click' out of position ?

I did not construct the wheels....

I thought being the master he would realize how that happens.

It's not a matter of construction but more so of lacing the wheel - if done correctly, the spokes will not cross in front of the valve

AMEN !!
