Bikes: 1956 Rudge; 1981 Miyata; 1994 Breezer; 1987 Raleigh Mtn Trials; 1952 R.O. Harrison; 1994 Concorde; 1949 Rotrax; 1964 A.S. Gillott; Early 60s Frejus; ~1979 RRB track; Unknown Interwar track

For the same reason I set up my 1981 Miyata 610 (pre-canti brakes) as a near full Suntour Superbe Pro bike with a set of NOS American Classic hubs.
It's undergoing another transformation as I write this; getting a Cyclone group, front and rear Jim Blackburn racks, SP dynamo hub, and an Edelux II which cost 9x what I bought the frame for. That bike has always proven to just be the right one for me, so it's getting a light touring makeover.
Why? Just because I can.
