My first bike, a  58cm 1986. Bought it from a friend for $60, rode it around college for a couple of years, and then had it powdercoated and switched to 8 speed indexed drivetrain. Sold 2 years ago since it didn't fit all that well, and I was riding my modern road bike a lot more and it felt redundant.

My second Tempo as bought, a 62cm 1985. Found it locally on Craigslist after I started missing my first Tempo a lot.

Cleaned up and overhauled. Paint is still pretty rough, but I still put a few hundred miles on it in this configuration.

This is the bike's current configuration. I got tired of looking at the shoddy paint, so the bike was powdercoated. I also wanted to try out 650B wheels, so the bike currently has 650Bx38C tires. Smaller wheels gave me room for fenders, and the front rack was added to let me carry a big rando-style bag. I love this bike in this configuration. It keeps all the liveliness of the original, but the ride is as smooth as could be.
