Bikes: 1996 Bianchi EL/OS, 1991 Miyata QuickCross

Finally got some photos of my commuter, a '91 Miyata Quickcross. Got it for <$100 off Craigslist, and some parts bin swaps, new tires, and a tune up later, it's good to go. The tires are Resist Nomad in 700x35c, but they measure out at 33mm. I was hoping they'd be more true to marked width, but it's fine by me.

Might be a bit blurry, but you get the gist.



And a shot of the handlebars for those curious. I'm liking the trekking bars and just below saddle height is pretty comfortable for me. They're wrapped with a layer of Fizik bar gel near the levers (had it lying around), and the rest of it is wrapped in Soma Thick and Zesty bar tape. My local shop had to get a little bit creative with the cable routing to accommodate the bar and stem change.
