BlankCrows beat me to it, but I recently acquired an almost identical Gran Sprint to his brother's bike (see earlier posting in "Catch of the Day"). I have been loving this ride. Yes, I need to give the bike a good scrub and polish, but life has been hectic lately. Nevertheless, here are some detail pics to add to the portrait. The lugs caught my eye instantly.



The black stem and seat post have to go! It is so wrong with the sky blue. After seeing BlankCrows' bike, I can see what it is supposed to look like.
