I ride this one to work on occassion. It was my Dad's bike. He left it with me when he moved to Alabama back in 1996. He passed away in 2004 and I pulled it out of storage. I never appreciated the bike until then. He had bought it new in Georgia (the hub is dated 12/78). As usual for him, he had them install a speedometer on it. He evidently never rode it though. The odometer only read nine miles. The bike was in almost perfect condition, but the handle bars were terribly pitted. I replaced them, the brake pads, lubed everything, and then got a lesson on adjusting a three speed hub...online from Sheldon Brown's site.
I just can't decide if I want to replace the original vinyl seat with a Brooks. I don't really ride it enough to justify the purchase, but I think the bike would have better "curb" appeal.
