Earlier this week was, maybe, the last summer day we'll get. 10/28 was 75deg when I pushed off from Oaks to do the SRT again. The surprise was that the trail was closed at Ford St for the final paving of the new section to Ross St. So I did a u-turn (did not feel like playing in traffic) and headed back but pushed on to Port Providence then Mont Clare. A simply great day - nice colors, quiet water, no wind, lovely air. And choosing the Nishiki was right as it matched the fall colors nicely.
I've seen several Nishiki Internationals but none like mine. 1980, Suntour Cyclone RD, Sugino Mighty crankset, brown/gold decals, brown housings, chrome socks, yellow saddle and tape and a few other touches. Very nice C&V ride.
BTW: I've no idea why the SW wont insert photos inline tonight. See attachments.
