Howdy,
Not a whole heckuvalot to say about these, except that maybe Grant Petersen and Co. might have slipped a bit of Rivendell tincture into my cowboy coffee... because next thing you know, I'm raising my handlebars, rocking all Nitto components, shedding the click-in shoes and twining everything in sight... what next, wool and leather clothing? I draw the line at the racks and bags, I'll be going the Topeak rack/basket system soon. Don't hold me to it though.
Raleigh Record (mid '80s)
Ancient Suntour shifting system
Bar tape on top tube to ward off rust until I attempt the repaint "Ressurectio" job
Kona Lava Dome (1996)
Bosco bars with original Grip Shift
I love and despise upgrading components, thrown a lot of money at these, but it's worth it, to see my riding increase tenfold
