I am planning on upgrading the drivetrain and storing the original parts once I get to it over the winter. I cannot wait to ride it in the spring.

If you like to ride fast, this will be a treat. There arent many frames that deliver the hardcore feel and handling of the Criterium Series frame. The harder you ride it, the more you appreciate it.
