I do not know what happened. It is a shame! most new bikes are like that. this bike has original paint and needs new, but if i do anything it will be as simple as it is now.

Thankfully, they fought the urge to "gaudy-up" the 50th Anniversary edition. Now where did I put those seven Gs.

it's unseald?

are the hubs and bb sealed? i mean the bb of the frame is un-sealed but is the bb unsealed?

I'm gonna assume he means the cloverleaf cutout at the BB shell will let water and dirt into your BB thus reducing its' life.

cool bike. very classic.

yeah. but is the bb crank thing itself sealed?

nah i do not think it is sealed. I haven't opened it up but i have another campy bb that looks similar. I plan on getting a phil wood bb.

Butcher that B17 and wrap some black cork on those bars and it's perfect. As it is... 99% :)

nah no cord on bars and my b17 is fine. no need to cut it
