Can you post a pic of your Moto?[/QUOTE] I bought it off a guy at work. He said he got it from orig. owner in 1979. I dunno, maybe newer ? Grand Touring , Rigida wheels , 10 speed.
When I got it, he had put a big old walmart gel seat on it, had the shifters moved up to the stem, (didn't have orig. ) and had the handlebar stem up so high it was almost falling out ! I got the brooks , found the closest correct shifters I could find and moved back to original location. They are Suntour 'power shift' , not sure what year thoese were made, but work well. And dropped the bars back in a bit. Rides well. After riding the Raleigh Sports for awhile, I feel like im on a rocket when I get on this :lol: I had a early 80s Super Mirrage that I bought new , but sold it like a dummy for next to nuttin' a few years back. Was glad to get this bike, even the same color |

That Moto was gorgeous. |

Yeah, I've posted it before but I just have to say that the first ride of the spring is like being 10yrs old and having a new bike.
Yesterday I conquered the 1.5mi Cat 4 a few blocks away. Didnt expect to do it but there it was. My CRITter rocked.... http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...C179734E90.jpg |
