Bikes: More than I care to admit

1985 Nashbar Sport EX as found:


Freshened up:


Yes, I replaced the original 600 non-aero brake levers with aero levers and in-line brakes but there was a rationale: the levers are 600 tricolor (same family, just a bit newer) and the in-line levers are Nashbar (to match the Nashbar bike). It's for the upcoming Cino and the girl I'm loaning to is very happy about the in-lines and bomb-proof Vittoria Randonneur Cross tires for gravely descents.

Other than that, just expanded the cassette to 14-28 7, went as low as you can go with a 38t chainring, replaced the expendable stuff like cables/housing, swapped in Shimano SPD/platform pedals from the Box-O-Crap and a Terry saddle. Oh, and I now Fizik bar tape.
