$50 including the rubbing compound and wax it took to clean it up. Add $30 for new tubes and tires. Another $60 for the Brooks B-73 that it now wears (not in pic). This is a great ride.

I-Like-to-Bike: I love your Vaterland and I don't even own it! I also use pipe insulation when I take the Mercury out longer than 20 miles!
