Someone buy this frame so that some FOOL doesn't make a fixie out of it!

Lamberts had great specs on paper but they where real junkers. Some of them had a cast aluminum "suicide fork" known to fail without warning. The hot blond model was the best thing about these bikes http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/Lambert/LambertAd.html http://www.classicrendezvous.com/British_isles/Lambert/lambert_bikes.htm Back in the day someone offered to trade me even for my 1973 Gitane Super Corsa. The Lambert looked pretty fancy with gold plated components and all so I took it around the block. The fork was so flexible that it self steered when cornering. "Just one look ... was all it took".

I really like the radius on the fork, the lower the better for me.
