Dang it!
I have never had any interest EVER in an upright style bicycle. Never...
Those handlebars are one of the most elegant looking objects I have ever seen. I was a punk, not a hipster. I used to laugh at those "affected idiots" (I wasn't?) on their 3 or rarely 5 speeds back in the late 70s early 80s. Now, the only bike I keep at the family homestead on Cape Cod for myself, is a Lemond Zurich, covered in WD-40.
Gaaugh, I don't know if I can manage without a bike like that to toodle around town on. ( Planning multibolt TA cranks or something and shrieking with anguish and maybe the Rally RD I don't know what to do with. 5 speed with single shift lever, and the Weinemann concave rims I've never had any use for....No, NO.... not another project......I'm sinking... All because I saw a set of stinking handlebars.
At least the frame is too small. `GLWS with renewed interest.
Cheers, Eric
