Steel big tire road frame for Santa Monica

 This steely ride will fit 700x33 tires, maybe even 35's. The frame and fork are made for 49-59 mm reach caliper brakes. Back when I was a teenager all road bikes had brakes with this reach.

 The fork has one of my favorite crowns, the Pacenti design Mitsugi style.It's a classic flat top road crown similar to what one would see on some Masi frames from the '70's.
The pump peg and chain hanger definitely tie the frame to an older era when all bicycles were fitted with a full size pump.
