Initially, I want to get my old KHS Fiero road bike from the shed to the indoor trainer.I bought the bike in 1989 as a frame with a no name chrome fork, built it up with what others discarded. I put a lot of miles on that old bike and I think its time to revive it. It wound up with a Nishiki fork that I was lucky enough to fit 27" wheels to it, though I am considering 700c wheels at this time. Really, the first thing after a basic cleaning and lubing will be, new brake hoods. The current one are gooey.
They say Dia Compe, but no model number. Best place to find replacements?
Next question.. I am considering 700c wheels to replace my 27" wheels...
I would likely need a new caliper since this one is almost at it's longest reach now.
I have no idea the quality of the frame, or even what year it is. But it's value is much more wrapped around sentimental value. It will never be lighter than the 1998 Cannondale R200 I have. So I need it to be able to do things different than that bike does...
