Got this bike for free of a friend, (Claud Butler Oracle) and loved the lugged frame/colour

Didnt like the chunky fork and wanted to mod it more after adding the surly bars and making it a single speed

Impulse bought some Tange Switchblade Forks off ebay for a fairly good deal after pining after them for a few years and did a steerer tube swap for a longer threadless retro pace one after a lot of research/searching

Converted to 1' threadless (Chorus Headset) installed it wrong and mashed the bearings, LBS took pity on me and very kindly sorted it

Love this bike, feels like it can go anywhere and its comfortable and responsive, reminds me of the warthog from Halo 3

In other news if anyone has some switchblades installed id love to see em, also have a couple spare steerers too 😅
