Lovely bike, BTW. Almost seems a shame to just use it as a city bike.
I have one of those "tall & short" bikes (63 x 56cms), and it is perfect for my touring purposes. The slightly more upright position makes it very comfy and easy to ride around on all day, racking up the miles as well as enjoying the scenery.
I hear what you are saying. But. I have a dozen drop bar roadies and zero vintage city bikes. It's heavier than the other bikes I own. It came with a long, long, long Nitto Technomic stem for upright riding position. And it has a kickstand.
At any rate, I need to finish a whole bunch component swaps on existing rideable inventory, so this Frejus may get ridden 'as is' for a while. Well, not 'as is', it needs brakes/levers remounted and a useable saddle.
I just need Vintage City Inspiration. (and didn't state that well in my initial post)
