It's about time
I finally got this thing on the road today. As is typical for me, things changed along the way. Still, I'm really happy with how it turned out.
  • 1977 Schwinn Volare (modified and repainted by someone)
  • Phil Wood/swaged spokes/Campagnolo Omega rims
  • Sugino Mighty crankset & bottom bracket
  • Suntour Cyclone dérailleurs
  • Simplex Retrofriction shifters
  • VO Grand Cru headset
  • SR Royal seatpost and stem
  • Nitto B132 handlebar
  • Suntour Superbe levers and calipers
  • Brooks Professional Classic
  • VO Randonneur rack
  • Scott's Tyre Savers

Don't mind my ratty backyard. I was only able to do a 15 mile shakedown ride today, but I really, really like it. It feels very comfortable and smooth.
