Long drive for this today. Full 600 with Cinelli bars and stem on MA40's. If there's a scratch or nick anywhere, I haven't found it yet.
There is literally a layer of dust on it.
The original owner who built it passed unexpectedly and his fiance' said the interest in the bike was very little. I asked and found out his name
was Danny and I assured her I would give him a nod of thanks every now and then.

Over the winter, one of my projects was to single speed my '87 prelude.
I didn't use it much last year, it's pretty redundant with some of my other bikes, so I thought I might use it more if its set up differently.
even as a single speed, it's a portly 23# ready to ride as shown.
smooth though!

Just picked up this lost soul, a 1988 Premis, pretty much original complete with splatter paint Scott Bar tape.
It still has its White components Cyclone 7000 grouppo, Sakae cranks, Dia-Compe brakes and Tange Levin CD headset. Although in the catalog it calls for it to have dark anodized chain rings and don't think I've seen one with the Dark anodized chain rings.
This was as received . its already been torn down and being cleaned up!.

Another 25" Schwinn! This is my favorite color combo of Premis. Beautiful, and can't wait to see it fully restored!

1990 Voyageur
I've inherited this Voyageur from my uncle, after it sat in a basement for many years. Since then I have completely gone through and replaced bearings and grease. Fresh Pasela tires, a Brooks saddle, bar tape, and I was off. It is a fantastic rider, if a tiny bit small for me. It is great out on the road. I plan some local and regional touring this year. These photos were taken on Wolfe Island located in the St. Lawrence River / Thousand Islands area. At this point the Voyageur has become my favourite commuter. Helps when breaking in the saddle...
I took a short walk from a 18th century church to see a burial ground dating from the settler period. I took a photo of the Voyageur against a tree nearby.

added some bits to the tempo over the winter. Bars, cranks and wheels. Rear dr shifted the freewheel right off the bat.

It took a bit, but I gotta say, that newer Tiagra crankset (see the white Paramount above) has reeled me in. It's got that gnarly Mad Max look. Especially in the right light and it turns that mean ass gun metal gray color. Somebody build an in your face black bike around that thing. Not sure if Shimano got it right with the chrome arms, but damn that ring. People are gonna be fighting over those rings. You heard it hear first. And if I'm wrong, you won't remember.

Crazy thing I noticed... this prelude has chromed fork ends. It’s not supposed to. Looking at the specs for 1988, the prelude has a hi ten fork, and the premis has a cromo fork with chromed ends. Tempo has chromed ends and reinforcements... so I’m thinking that I got a premis fork on this prelude from the factory, or they chromed a hi ten fork.

1988 Circuit
I picked up a nice '88 Circuit that I want to rehab. I want to keep it stock since the Sante' stuff is so cool. I have everything except I need a front wheel to complete the build. So I'm looking for a Sante' front hub laced to a Wolber TX Profile 32h rim. If anyone has one please reach out to me. rrudow@yahoo.com
