This bicycle was purchased on EBAY a few years back. It has some pedigree. The owner was ED or Theo Kron. He was a US cycling team mechanic and his family were local racers in the Chicago area. The bike was equipped with different rims front and rear. It also had a Gran sport rear hub and a Large flange NR front hub. I wanted to put a nice clean set of REtro Mod wheels and I had a pair of the Large flange "phone dial" hubs I got from a barn find. Didn't have matching skewers and the mavic rims you see here. I took off the Gran sport rear derailleur because it was the only "weak link" this bicycle has. The fancy seatpost replaced a cheep SR single bolt that was on there. If you guys know my collection you will also know I like my bikes pretty. What you don't see is the white San Marco gold plated rolls saddle that will be on it soon.
Cheers.
