I did this just this weekend, It is a tad small with the seat post and stem fully extended but will work for now. It is intended to be my commuter so that I don't wear out my Olmo. A friend of mine gave me the seat and the saddle bag. He says he rode from Chicago to Huntsville Alabama and back in the sixties on this saddle. The handlebars came from my Bianchi and the brake levers came from my Raleigh Grand Prix, both deceased. The wheels came were the original wheels on my Trek Y-3, donated to a local kid at the co-op and the cranks were originally on my Redline Monocog. I traded and old LX derailleur for the pedals, bottle cages and rack. The handle bar is wrapped in old road tubes.



I hope to eventually swap the frame out with a size or to larger but it should get me through a fall and winter of commuting. I have never used panniers before, always carrying everything in a back-pack. I am in the process of sewing together a pannier so that I can get the weight off my back.
