1969 Magneet Sprint, modified with SunTour drivetrain for most positive shifting and wider gear range. Originally the bike was set up with 27x1 high pressure tyres but I changed them over to a set of 27x1-38 gumwalls with a fairly agressive (cyclocross?) tread for both softer ride and the realization that I've got an awful lot of dirt/gravel roads under country route numbers in my area.
