Been away. Yes replacement. Bike stolen on Yonge Street and Sheppard Ave (main street in Toronto). In front of mall with no camera outside, and in front of main doors. Two cable locks cut and left daughters Rocky Mountain behind. White van involved, but nobody saw anything.
I was only there under two hours, but have learn my valued lesson on U-locks and cheap commuter/grunt bike.
Drive train is updated to Claris except front crank. These are Vintage SR. Brakes are Tektro long reach. Rims are generic 27 but one is double walled :-). Classic SR quill, bars, and pedals. Brake levers are a mix of Shimano and Dia-Compe.
I need to recheck/tru the wheels, wish I had a tension guage.

Shawn
