This pic is a long time coming. I posted a few years back when this was just the frame on a stand.

1986 KHS Fiero. Bought the frame 30 years ago. Used parts all the time, and always in flux.

A few years ago pulled it out of the shed, the old 27" wheels needed replaced anyway. So 700c wheels were found at my local bike Collective. I found a Shimano 105 5600 series brifters and derailleurs for cheap. Chose to go with a compact crankset, FSA Vero with the Powerdrive bottom bracket, so easy to set up! Anyway, found the 5600 series hubs laced to Rigida rims for cheap, so chose those over the Alexrims I originally was planning to use.

This has been on my indoor trainer the past few months since weight loss surgery last October. Down 115 pounds from my heaviest, 93 since surgery. And feeling much better.

This Old Friend is still a fun bike to ride. No, it's not special to anyone but me. But it fits this thread all the same...

Edit... I might add, I picked up a fork, stem and bars from Nishiki Prestige about the same year. It was wrecked, but I couldn't get the whole bike. I'm currently using SRAM Apex brake calipers, WTB Speed seat and generic seatpost.
