Old Nishiki is now a 27" × 1 3/8" ****** battle bike!! Those Bloodhounds look tough.

Tiny knobs, micro ratchet stem shifters, 1 to 1 hill gear (30t ring up front and out back), KB Japanese rando bars, this goofball is dope .

Turns out the Schwinner is a Schwinn Voyageur SP - with the one year and done Suntour Superbe Tech rd which, not surprisingly, seems to have exploded and durn near ruined the 40 spoke rear wheel.

That bike is BEAUTIFUL. One of our favorite volunteers spent a lot of time cursing at it today. Gonna have a weird XO-1 style cockpit bc it was lying around and seemed appropriate. Pics of that one soon...
