I assumed the purpose of the thread is to look at pictures of touring bikes we are building or have just built. I have about $160 CDN invested in this 1965 Dilecta Le Blanc. It had been used and abused as a "fixie" for a while, and am still detailing it (too cold and snowy to ride it)and have not yet found a saddle for touring. I also need to build/modify a front rack.
Features:
Stronglite Crankset - traded for a 54T Dura Ace
Superchampion Rims on Pelessier 2000 Professionel hubs- came with another bike.
Suntour components from the bin
Jagwire Road cable set
Metal/plastic Zefal fenders/mudguards- given to me
New Sun Race 14-28 freewheel
Cinelli cork tape-$19 US
SR stem from a old Bridgestone stepthru.
New Michelin 28mm Dynamic Classics $45CDN
Bits from the Bin!- Priceless!
