From: York, England after 15 years in Massachusetts

Bikes: 1 frame and a heap of pieces

Mine as found at the local flea market



After having several pounds of accessories, crap and gunk removed, 7sp STI's and freewheel, newer wheelset, brakes, saddle and service added this is my keeper complete with aluminum fork (3rd version) which induces panic in lapel graspers, do-gooders, helmet advocates and prodnoses. They seem to think it will sneak into the house during the night and murder my family and I as we sleep.

It is waiting for a beautiful Rolf 700c wheelset I picked up for $5 with a Mavic Cosmos wheelset, yep $5 for the 2 wheelsets in great shape with good Conti Grand Prix tires on all wheels. It also needs the levers raising up the bars a little, but its, going to stay as it is until the bars need retaping.

This build has cost a total of $100 even, all with flea market finds, the new wheelset will actually lower this as it is cheaper the wheels I currently am using.
