Franklin 650B Demontable Separating Frame Project

[David Dillard]

Hey 650Bers--

I thought you all would enjoy this.  My latest project is a frame Jack Trumbull at Franklin Frames did for me.  It has some early Rivendell lugs, Ritchey style breakaway frame, Rohloff hub with Paragon sliding dropouts and shifter on the steering column.  Sort of a Riv-Ritchey-Rohloff-Rando-Rinko.

Here are pictures at various points in the process:

Wow! That is really nice!

Not as pretty, but I have a Jeff Lyon with the ritchey breakaway setup I got from a fellow list member last year.
