I built this up in stages over the last few years. It's a mid-80s Trek 310 with 7-speed Shimano Nexus hub. Upgraded the wheels about ten years ago with Mavic MA-40s which have been fantastic - strong and true. Still experimenting with the positions of everything on the moustache bars, so I haven't taped them yet.

More of an obstacle to my commuting though, is a nasty intestinal hemorrhage that seems to pop up the day after I ride or do anything else strenuous. Nearly killed me a year ago last week. That keeps me from actually commuting much at all, but I'm dang tired of just looking at my bike hanging in the garage and figured even if I can't get it out on the road where I can appreciate it, I'll get it out on the web where other like-minded folks can. Riding is my inspiration for getting my guts fixed and my body back up to speed. Some day soon I'll be out all the time.
