I just picked up a Flying Dutchman frame at the local bike swap for $15.00, and was wondering if anybody knows anything about these bikes? Frame is a lugged Reynolds 531 butted tube set with horizontal dropouts.

I will be building up a Frankenstein bike with the following parts, Campy C-Record 170mm cranks, Vitus 979 aluminum fork, Suzue hub with MA3 in back and Record hub/old Matrix rim up front, Conti 3000 28c tires, old white Flite saddle, bullhorn bars, and Modolo brakes.
About the only thing extra that will need to be purchased is a 26.2 seatpost. I will try to post photos when the project is complete - hopefully before next weekend.

The finished product

After posting the original message, I disappeared down into the basement and got busy at the task at hand. And to the displeasure of my wife, I wasn't seen until it was complete.
