Question for you Tozovr: are your hoods disintegrating? Mine did. Any idea where I can get replacements? And though there are eyelets near the dropouts, there are no braze ons on the seat stays. How can I add a rack? And do you think there's room for fenders?
I tell you, it's a whole new world. After a winter's commuting on the Specialized...it's a minivan, basically. And this...well, it's not a Ferrari, exactly. But it's a '78 Volkswagen Scirocco with standard shift and no power steering....
