Are those chrome steel rims, too? In rainy Seattle? OK, just admit you wanted that guy to die and we're good here

But for reals; my '86 Univega with turkey levers is dead sexy. Nice ride, too.



It has an aftermarket kickstand, too. And no, I'm not going to take it off. This bike is as exactly as it came from the LBS, without a scratch or any other sign of use.
