(He also has a "Tease" 3-spd just sitting in his yard just rusting away..) I replaced the drop bars with what you see in the pic and swaped out the 27in wheels with newer 700cc's. Rerouted cables ect ect ect....
She's a nice old classic city bike now. Just perfect for a guy like me. Someone who just rides a bike to ride.
Oh! notice the mtn bike stem and brake levers...I had to use a shimmy to clamp the handlebar tight enough to ride it safely.
