Day 4 of Hetchins week brings this Magnum Opus. This bike is from a late series of Hetchins. Love that crown!

While technically not a plate crown, this Davis sand cast crown is plated and we needed to keep Hetchins week going. This is one of my favorite crowns.

Day two of Hetchins week brings this 1954 Experto Crede. Note the lack of embellishments on the crown.

This 1930's SKS shows that lightweights have not changed much. Note the integrated headset and "indexed" shifters.
