Hi
well need to get out and get in shape so hit local second hand store..found this bike complete for 35.00 February 2011 ..new tubes tires minor adjustments and 500 miles later still runs great ..fantastic bike for the $$ and recall my old ten speed days..this is a 12 ..
Royal Blue (newer handlbar tape I did)
Suntour 5000 Train /Sun Tour shifters
Bio_Pace ? Sakae crank
DiaComp brakes
Atom 77 hub
Weinmann 27" rims 416 Alloys
says custom on handlebars
well could not believe I found this and is a daily rider with reliability
2 hours a week maintainance and best sounding cassette nice and loud
trying to update weakest part of this bike..rims need constant trueing but I work this bike hard ..
may have Phil Wood rims if I can swing it on eBay..hoping these need less maintainance and stay true..
other than that this bike is perfect for where I live..
rack was on a Schwinn Caliente crashed bike acquired for 20.00 ..sold those rims for 20.00 and put this Swiss Fletcher mousetrap rack on ..nice and light vintage too
still needs some fine tuning but riding weather now fix is come winter iron out bugs first ..
have others will post but this bike I really like and reminds me of the old ten speeds I had 35 years ago ..and 12 speed then was the KING back in the day !
well enjoy hope you like it and be back frequently..more pics of other vintage 10-12 speeds I found cheap ..
oh I did remove the San Marco seat as small rip will fix and put back on .. last pic shows seat it came with ..
