Reading the postings on B.F. got me "Jonesing" for a full-blown touring bike (B.F. can do stuff like that to you ). I saw this one on C.L. At first I thought it was a low-end bike, since it had safety levers and stem shifters. Then the cantilever brakes caught my eye. The previous owner wasn't asking much for it. He seemed to want to pass it on to someone who would appreciate riding it as much as he seemed to have. Below is a "before" picture, and current "after" pix. I still have a few more things to add to it, though. I have several sets of panniers that I can throw on, a bicycle computer, bell, frame pump, and a sharp-looking generator light set. Note: The bike did not originally come with safety levers and stem shifters.
