I'm mainly riding my drop bar bike, now that I bought new wheels with wider rims. It was sporting a 5 speed rear cluster over the winter. Last year I needed to change cranks and I was waiting to deal with the change in chainline until I got newer wheels. So now it's back to single speed, and the new rear wheel is un-dished appropriately and sporting a Shimano MX-30.

The frame is the bottom of the line Schwinn Sprint from the mid 80s, but it’s built up mainly from low-end, modern parts. I do like the new Cambium saddles. This narrow one is very nice for a drop bar bike. I also really like the TRP RRL levers. Those levers on these narrow GB rando bars are the most comfortable drop bar set up I’ve ever had.
