Delbiker says hello and welcome. BF inspired me to re-build a bike I have owned since 1992. It has a lot of the original components but I replaced the wheels with 9 speed Vuelta SLR with a 9 speed cassette 14/25. I am using the original DT shifters in friction mode. Also has the original crank but with new 50/39, 130 BCD rings. I also stripped the frame all the way to bare metal, sanded it smooth and had it powder coated in a two stage powder called Illusion Rootbeer. I did this in the spring of this year and I have been putting quite a few miles on it.
