Before:
After: Running a 52-17 ratio. Weighs in at 18lbs. Swapped over Sugino cranks and mavic 700c front rim, and bought a new chain, Sunlite fluted seatpost, and FSA Vision TT saddle
Laced the hub myself. Runs truer than before I disassembled the wheel. Vintage 700c Peugeot rim laced to walmart-spec hub. Avenir 17t cog and FSA lockring. And I've never had a problem with the suicide hub unscrewing...I just make sure it's tight periodically.
And that is the original REAL white leather handlebar tape.
Total build cost: $33

Among the nicest riding commuting tires I've ever used and dirt cheap too.
They look like veloflex or vittoria evo's w/o the premium bite.
