Sunday was a short (20 miler) ride to shake out the rebuilt-as-fixed Schwinn World Voyageur. A combination of a newly purchased Carradice Pendle and the smoothness of the machine stretched to a glorious 83 miles that I wish had never ended.
The bag, a Carridice Pendle, is the perfect one day tour bag.It's actually a Junior with side pockets. It's just big enough to handle tools, food, rainwear and those extras I obsess about.
The bike is a Schwinn World Voyageur I got from First Flight Bikes as a frame I built it as a fixie with a flip/flop. The original parts are first generation Shimano Dura-Ace. I kept the Shimano theme but updated the brakes to aero. The crank I am especially proud of...1st generation Dura-Ace, ebayed. No shifter bosses to worry about it was originally set-up as bar-end shifters. Those early seventies long chainstays and relaxed geometry make for a smooth, stable and most comfortable ride. I can;t wait for the weekend to go out again.
