dont be afraid to try new things with your fit. you might be supprised at how well something else works.

I will, I have the day off after the weekend and will have some time to tinker. I've. Been riding ever since its been done which gives me a chance to notice the little tweaks here and there that I have to make. It'll all get dialed in in the next few days and miles. Ill stop by the LBS too and see what advice those guys have for me too :).....overall thought, I'm very happy with the bike.


I'm used to double sided entry on pedals lol sothe Looks are taking some getting used to but not a big problem at all. Its kind of like when you first learn to drive a stick...you fumble to get moving lol

Some of the bikes on this thread just blow my mind. Question: what did you use to hold the bike down for the pic? It looks like it could float away if not properly secured.:love:

One with bad fashion taste. That bike looks quite ugly with the red....

as for the brake levers.. in the 80s they would make the drops level with the ground, but i like the tops level instead, which tilts everything up. The way i set the brakes on my bikes is to align the bottom of the brake lever to be in line with the bottom of the drops (i hold a ruler to the underside of the drop bar).

i think if i lowered the brakes it would look worse.. and it would definitely not be as comfortable.

and the bike is staying green :lol:

I hear ya - that's why I posted my Centurion(which is the same year and model btw). I built it up with 10 spd components and even got a black powder coat paint job for ~$300. As far as those saddles go, the Sell San Marco Regal has been around has been around a loooong time. You could probably find one in good condition used at a decent price.
