Some more pics to show the details.
Bolted on seat stays
S/A 3 speed
I think it's a pretty crank
Drum Brakes
Surprised how light the titanium B17 felt compared to all my normal Brooks.
Now that's a Name!
Beefy lugs
Simple but I do like the looks. May play with the angle of the bars to get optimum comfort
Gotta have the bell.
Guess I am "stepping back" a bit with this and my other new purchase. I've sold off close to 20 of the road bikes and on top of this I have a sweet Azor step through Dutch bike on order to be my utility type ride. Big departure from all my steel racers but I've been missing what my old AMF Hercules gave me in terms of carrying capacity in an upright position. The Azor will fill that need and more.
I always wanted a Guv'nor but could never justify the cost...
I'm a bit jealous...
just sayin'
