Hi all,
Just picked this thing up for fairly cheap. Pretty beat up...lots of goofy work done to it.
Is it worth completing with original components? (modolo front brake, etc.)
Or should I throw some new components on and make this my commuter?



Also, value as is? and value if i were to acquire some original parts on the cheap? Thanks all!!

I have an 89 I got as a frame and have thrown different sets of parts on it. Not a bad frame. I have not heard to many people singing the praise of the parts it originally came with. My take, put what you want and ride it as a commuter if you want. It's a little twitchy for a commuter though.

Break it down and give it a good cleaning. If you don't want to spend on a groupset just change the parts that are needed to keep it original and functioning properly.


If I had that frame Id completely supply it with a new groupset.
