I picked it up in London after doing a morning of facilitation work for a council, and had to ride it 8 miles through unfamiliar streets, and then through the city centre, to get to the station. I like it! I'm always tempted to keep everything in my size, and so I'll resist, but it was good. Why does anyone need 7 speed and over hubs? This has 7, and I never knew where the hell I was! I think my brain would explode with 10. I put my own pedals on it, see another thread to help me identify the Campag clipless it had previously.
Nice score! Neat little Blackburn pump to boot, too.
