This bicycle is unreasonably pretty.  It was given a $1300 paint job by Joe Bell just four weeks ago and not ridden since.  The previous owner is an avid lifelong cyclist, and he built this up with a frankenbike-style collection of parts chosen with a performance first and \"correctness\" 2nd attitude.  It's modern meets vintage styling is well suited to this frame that is styled as if it could have been built in the 1970's but wasn't even conceived until 1991.  It was originally intended to be his dream bike fulfilled, but he found his dream gravel bike and sold this Spectrum and some other bicycle gold to me to fund it.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThis frame currently has 700x25's with lots of room.  The front will easily fit a 28 or maybe even a 30mm.  The rear should fit most 28s fine, but the tallest of tires might come pretty close to the brake bridge.  It features internal cable routing, 130mm rear spacing, finely filed crafted from scrach lugs, and a cast fork crown that at first glance resembles a segmented fork.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eKellogg is one of the most important framebuilders in USA history, and has been involved in the creation of top shelf boundary pushing bicycles since 1976 when he built his first frame out of a barn.  He has designed, fitted, and painted frames under his own name, the Ross Bicycles \"Signature\" line, and as of 1988, Spectrum Cycles.  He helped form Merlin Metal Works and was instrumental in testing the now legendary ExtraLight.  He's considered a very top tier frame fitter.  As of recent years, Tom did the fitting, designing, and painting of Spectrum frames while his business partner Jeff Duser did the frame building and from-scratch creation of the lugs.  Tom \u0026amp; Jeff announced their retirement last year, and there will be no more Spectrum Cycles frames ever built.  I've only scratched the surface of Tom's bicycle resume.  If you crave even more history, \u003ca title=\"Tom Kellogg Spectrum Cycles retirement bicycling mag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bicycling.com\/news\/a26576578\/spectrum-cycles-closing\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere you go\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eI emailed Tom Kellogg himself, and he quickly replied with these paragraphs and data points:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\"Boy, Joe did a beautiful job on that frame.  No surprise there.  We sent him the decal set for it a while ago.  He really is the best.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eOK, here's the deal on that bike.  First a few general things, then onto specifics.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eWe have never had \"models.\"  All of our frames have been custom made for individuals, so there really isn't any point.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThat fork crown is actually an investment cast crown, made by Henry James when he was still in business.  He used to call it a \"Dog Bone\" design.  We just used up our last one a few weeks ago.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe frame was originally made for a gentleman in Philadelphia ordered in May of '91 and delivered in March of '92.  The original color was what we call Porsche Red.  The original DuPont paint code is 29198.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cul dir=\"auto\"\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eFrame tubes -
