Here are a couple of pictures of my recently completed utility/commuter (longer post in vintage) it started life as an 1982 Nishiki International. Note the folding grocery basket.

here it is at night...with black and silver reflective tape. The whole frame has a top coat of a Duplicolor spray that makes the whole bike reflective.



Not many miles yet, but so far it is working well for what is intended for....throw a leg over it an use it..go get groceries, coffee, ride with the kid, go to the drugstore, etc
