Hello to all. This is my first post to Utility Cycling. I just finished my grocery getter.
The reason it is new "old" is it was a ten speed that was won in the mid 90's and sat in a basement until a month ago. A good friend gave it to me since he knew I was into bikes. It is an old Korean Randor, whatever that is.
I fabed some fenders, installed a pair of Wald baskets on a Topeak rack, and installed a Sunlight center stand.
Of course the bars are not original. I had to have that upright riding position. I also replaced the mini saddle with a proper padded seat...It rides very well.
Hope you like it..
Best regards,
Mike
