An oldie gets a new life

This fillet brazed road frame and fork from the '90's was in a crash and the fork was destroyed and the front end of the frame was bent. The owner was determined to have it fixed so he sent it back to me, even though I have not done work like that in years . It took me a number of months to get around to fixing it but fix it I did and here's the result. I'm not sure if the geometry will be identical to how it originally was as I dod not have the original drawing any more but I think based on the numbers it should ride well. I am really happy that the customer gave me a long leash and never hounded me on the delivery time. I hope he likes the bike as much now as he did before the accident.
