Spring has finally arrived in the Netherlands!
Spent the day making the bike rideable again.
While I wait for the new bottom bracket I just took off all other rings but the big ring and rode with that.
The end result of today:
Now as the eagle eyed may notice I put on a new saddle and the pedals are missing.
The saddle is a
Lepper Tourer in honey. More pics can be found
here (box),
here (side) and
here (bottom).
While the Specialistes Ta Pro 5 Vis crank did come in
English thread mine was of course the smaller
French thread... Walked the bike halfway across the city three different places to find a bicycle mechanic that was willing to rethread it to the slightly larger modern thread. I'll be taking my bike there again when I need new wheels built with a dynohub.
I'm really looking forward to taking it for a spin tomorrow.
