I'm a sucker for a red bike, and this one delivers big time.
She's gorgeous, and looks to be in top shelf condition.
You really have a knack for finding and building beautiful bikes.
I think you'll find room in your heart to ride this one fairly often.
Looks like a great all-day ride!
Ride report please.
The spokes are a bit rusty and I'm thinking rebuild for the wheels. The bearings also need overhauls...it'll be a bit before that happens
I have to say I think it's fairly awesome from what I'm seeing...it's a VERY smart build. Room for fenders and tires, relaxed geometry...I'd hardly call it outdated.
The only parts that are outdated are the DT shifters and 5 sp freewheel...but I have plenty of Ergo bikes, I can have space for another DT shifter. The single pivot calipers and rims could also use updates I suppose.
