Top - thanks for the tip bud! Riv's barcon pod is about $10 cheaper than the Kelly Takeoffs.

She's certainly in need of some cleaning and polishing on the parts that are staying on the bike. I think the most creative bit on this bike is going to be the lights and light mount. Debating between going to a reflector bracket attached to the headset but that could be an issue with the canti cable stop being in that same general location. -OR- Attached to the front fork where you would mount a pair of caliper brakes. I just have to ensure that I don't interfere with the brakes. Should be a fun project!

Now, do I keep this crank or swap for a more modern TruVative triple gearing with a 52 top ring and a smaller middle ring? This thing's 50/46/(small haven't counted it yet) setup is odd.
