That being said it actually rides really well and I won't be heartbroken when it gets ganked. Just need to find a nice rack that I can strap my bag to and im good. Thoughts on which red thing to ditch first or leave as is?

Took the new old Garlatti out today and there is something about a bit of beautiful vintage steel that really gets the blood flowing... just installed Simplex retrofriction shifters and the difference between these and the old Campy is like night and day. Shifting is like warm butter on glass. |
Started commuting to work with my bike, here are a few pics of my bike.

updated pic of my Gitane commuter. I'm glad I added the fenders, we have been getting rain pretty much every single day since I installed them :) The rear rack is also new, and very helpful. Next is some powerful lighting.

My daily commuter is a 1987 Schwinn World Sport, my commute is about 6mi one way. The only upgrades so far are Schwalbe Marathon tires (27x1-1/4), brake levers and cables, and el-cheapo front and rear lights. I'm considering a rear rack and new bars, either bullhorns or short risers. I have around $120 total into this bike and by the end of the summer it will have paid for itself in gas savings! I love this bike and take any excuse I can to ride it.

New Cummunter..Finaly!!

Picked up my new communter today Marinoni Fango with 105.. through months of procrastination and visiting numerous shops. I walked into local Hamilton bike shop owned by Ex top Canadian racer and Olymipian (70s/80s) Brian Chewter. Sold me what he felt I needed at my riding lvl and style. Hung out for a few hrs after I was sized up, saddle and peddles added. Looking forward to those long rides now.

Here is my latest build for every day use during summer, which I assembled with used and NOS 90's parts:
Sunn Vertik CroMo MTB frameset, Chris King headset, 3ttt road race handlebar, Shimano XT and 105 parts, Sachs Quartz hubs, Mavic 26" rims and other 20+ years old stuff (e.g. the "antique" Lyotard pedals). Finally the bike got pimped with a Brooks Swift leather saddle and bamboo fenders. :love: http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=209200 |
That's one beautiful ride, wasabi.

Happy 4th guys :) Here's a picture of my spot for the festivities this weekend:

I've been lurking for a few weeks, I just signed up so I guess I'll post.

Looks like a fine ride to me.
