+1!!!
But yeah, back on topic, i have an old KHS triathlete 12 speed that i have been meaning to put up here so you guys can see it and give me some info on it, a lot of people have been telling me that it might be the John Howard edition but i don't think so because it has suntour and alpha 5000 components and sugino cranks, and i think the John Howard has shimano 600 components.
Anyway, i also was wondering if there are any manufacturers that still make vintage looking bikes with modern day components, but, i do love the frame on my bike and since i got it for 90 bucks!!! i was wondering, would it be to much trouble upgrading it********** maybe to SORA or 105???? would it be expensive???
