Bikes: Early 1980's Ishiwata 022 steel sport/touring, 1986 Vitus 979, 1988 DiamondBack Apex, 1997 Softride PowerWing 700, 2001 Trek OCLV 110

Frameset was bought in '89 but I'm guessing it was built in the late '70s or early '80s.

Ishiwata 022 steel throughout. Burnt metallic orange. Built for 27" wheels but I'm running 700C with "normal" reach Shimano Exage single pivots. Truvativ 4D 5-bolt 94mm BCD triple crank used as a double with 44x29 Ritchey chainrings. Deore LX front changer, 600 rear changer, with indexed bar-end shifters. 11-28 7-speed HG cassette.
