My dad had this bike built for him around '74/'75. He stopped riding when I was still pretty young. It sat in the garage and then storage until a couple years ago when I decided to fix it up. Needless to say, I am slow. Today I finally got it completely reassembled and took a tour around the block. The bike rides great. It's so much smoother than my aluminum/carbon Fuji. It's a hair too big for me, but manageable.

Is anybody else riding one of these?


Parts (this is essentially the way Dad had it set up with a few changes): Suntour cyclone gt rear derailleur, bar end shifters, shimano 105 front derailleur, dura ace brakes and levers, 6 speed 12-28 freewheel, campagnolo nuovo record crank, high flange hubs, super champion gentleman rims, generic seatpost, unicanitor seat, 3TTT bars and stem.

And now for pictures:
