Bikes: 1986 Fuji Allegro 12 Spd; 2015 Bianchi Kuma 27.2 24 Spd; 1997 Fuji MX-200 21 Spd; 2010 Vilano SS/FG 46/16

The 54 cm Vilano, sorry for the crappy cell phone pic. Standard issue internet purchase except for the Dicta 16T freewheel and pedals without the toe clips. I'm like Church, I've got no time to feck with the toe clips. Other than that, 2 months of everyday riding and multiple 30+ mile urban loops in the Banana Republic, it looks like the day it arrived and I put it together. The secret to that is a warm water wipe down with an old washcloth after every ride (takes 5 minutes ?) and spray the chain with a little oil periodically. I actually like the Dicta 16T freewheel upgrade, it's chromed with a black easy on/off system, chrome like the fixed gear cog (so it matches, yeah, I know how some feel about "matchy matchy"). It's also gloss black, but the poor camera/pic not to mention the humidity down here in Miami, FL and the paint's gloss fogs up with moisture, so it appears a duller flat black than it really is.
