Get some Pasela's on it, and it will put a smile on your face everytime to ride it. Mine is done up with Original 80 wheels(eyelet concave Weinmanns) and Suntour Cyclone M-II derailleurs, and a Suntour Superbe drillium crank. I need new pics of it, so I can show it off. I may take it outside and do that this weekend.,,,,BD
