So far, he doesn't ride it at all! I picked up the bike for a song late last fall for a friend (saw it while looking for a bike for his daughter), was a great deal because the seller was in a remote part of the state, we couldn't pass it up. I did a complete overhaul (for free) just because I couldn't stand such a work of art to be anything less than pristine, and he has yet to ride it! I told him if he ever doesn't want it, I'd take it off his hands. These days I don't ride road bikes with skinny tires, I need a townie with lots of panniers, but I would hang it up just to look at it, sculpture.
