reply to East Hill and others
Don't know if I am a Classic & Vintage type of person. I just have kept my trusty Miyata in great shape and good working order. Never have been a MTB type either, but that could change. I did just have my bike tuned up at Steve's Bike Shop in Rocky Mount, NC. Also had the Rigida Rush Rims redrilled to accept Schrader tubing. Was also told that 27 inch wheels are hard to come by these days. The Shimano Signature mechanicals work just great. Just been wondering lately, why I quit riding like I had. Not up to the 30 to 50 miles per day from the past, but I have managed to do 10 per day so far. I've got a 5 mile loop mapped out close to where I live.
