Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

36 miles, 1200 ft of climbing. It was a beautiful day. I started the ride with leg warmers and a very light windbreaker but I took them off once I warmed up. The temps ran from the high 50s to high 60s. I rode my early 70s Fuji Finest. The only parts that are original are the headset, seatpost, and fittings. I did a sympathetic build using Japanese parts mainly from the 80s as well as a few new parts: an SR Apex triple with 48/38/28 rings, a 13-28 7 speed new winner freewheel, Suntour Cyclone derailleurs and bar cons, first gen dura ace brakes, araya rims laced to Shimano 600 hubs, MKS pedals, a Nitto bar and stem, MKS pedals, and a Selle Anatomica saddle. This is a comfy, long-distance machine.
