I love those frames. A nice cross between Schwinn's cantilever and boring Collegiate/Varsity frames.

I agree, I figured this look out purely by accident when my girlfriend and I were sticking stuff together in the garage one day. This frame is a good size for me too being just a little smaller than a cantilever.
