I have about $120 bucks invested in components without the Brooks seat ( a huge indulgence ), so I am thinking I could do a bit more for the wheels ( most of the rust came off but some of the chrome is badly pitted in spots) and the steel wheels don't stop that well in the wet.
Thanks again for setting me on the right path. Say Healthy.
Welcome aboard, glad you found us, you're in the right place.
We love this sort of thing, no worries on the sentimental tack and the Brooks is exactly what this needs, nothing else will do.
Agree with all so far, make it so.
