Very nice! Did you have it chromed? If so, did you notice a weight increase? Like the bartape too.

What tires are those? Are you running 630/27"s or 700Cs?

Oops, my error. I switch out the 27" rims for 700's and kept the original hubs. Can't recall at work here what tires they are but the rims are mavic.

So, all stock except for rims & stem.

Beautiful P-15! I especially like Paramounts with big gearing. They might not look racey--- but they get the job done when this big guy is looking up a long steep hill! Nice work!
