This is my new bike. I finished building it last night. It is pictured with studded ice tires. I rode it for a quarter mile last night on those tires. They are very loud. This morning, I changed the tires and rode 14 miles to work. It's a blast! The frameset is a 1974 Raleigh International. The bike with the studded tires weighed a mere 26 pounds. It's probably below 25 pounds now.
