This was my record. I loved this bike so much. It was heavy, but felt really good. Put at least three thousand miles on in over four years before the bottom bracket threads stripped out. It was made in Ireland, and I figured that they all must have been wasted on guinness, cause they were some sloppy welds. But that did not stop it from being one of the most comfortable bikes I ever owned. Nothing was better than passing some weekend lycra guy on a three thousand dollar bike up a hill on this hulk. Of course I got blown away a lot, but it felt ok on this bike as well. This was my tri bike. I did better on this bike than many of the other riders.
Just got another, in yellow and black, just as rusty, but it looks ok inside(far as I can tell).
putting a SA three speed 27" wheel in it, making it a path racer type bike. Even though I have much better bikes these frames seem to fit me and my body weight really well. If I ever have a custom bike made, I may use this frame as a model.
