Currently a work in progress, but it should be finished within a week or so.
1985 Schwinn Mirada
Nitto RM-3 handlebars
Original Shimano thumb shifters, contemplating a move to barcons.
Cheap riser stem on right now, have a Nitto arriving early next week
Panaracer Comet Hardpack 26x1.95 tires on some newer Shimano hub wheels, Alivo hub in front, Parallax in rear.
Frame cold-set to 135mm
I'm pretty happy to be excited about this bike again. In the stock configuration it felt quite uninspiring to ride.
Nice work! Great choice with the gold cable housing, it really makes that brown frame look stately and elegant.
