I think I don't like the Criterium handlebars though. I need to change them. Hate to have to retape this baby.
A wider range of gearing would be nice too..
You stole my bike!
Just kidding, yours looks great. Mine is a bit more worn. Some of the "Basso" decals are coming off, and I had to remove the "Loto" decal, it was so bad. I just finished putting mine together last weekend and have about 50 miles on it so far. I really love the ride.
I just received some Vittoria Corsa Evo gum wall tires that I'll put on in a day or two. I was going to put on green bar tape and green cables, but the color of what I bought didn't quite match the green on the bike, so I just went with all back. As for freewheels, after some research on here, I bought a Sunrace 13-25t. So far, so good, but I only have a few miles on it.
Cheers
