Steel CX frame for pacific northwest

 Nothing too modern here, just a straight ahead CX frame in steel. The top tube is nearly level and the  tube diameters are a little smaller than what I currently use. No disc brakes, no carbon fork, no Di II, no thru-axles. This is a circa 1998 frame and fork.

 The fork has my very last Pacenti P.B.P. crown. I won't be able to get these in the future as Pacenti is shutting down the bikelugs.com site- I'll have to use other stuff once I run out of the stash that I have in stock.
The frame is mostly True Temper with some Dedaccai tubing in the rear triangle and a Nove seat tube. The frame is 3 lb. 13 oz.  I wasn't trying to make it light, it just came out that way. It's a pretty small frame.

Will Pacenti be licensing out that design so that casting house can continue to sell it?
