To right the wrong of bringing two vintage road bikes to Coppi that had modern Campagnolo components on them, I'm considering riding this for Hilly.
I'm not completely sure I have the motor for it and if it rains, those chrome rims are gonna carry me all the way to the crash site. I'd need to find a spare tube and make up a tool kit as I'm certain to be alone if trouble strikes.

But you might be right, some Look clipless and road shoes could be the perfect touch.

If @nomadmax actually rides that Varsity, it might just be my only chance to keep up with him. otherwise, I'll get to the crash site (speaking theoretically, I hope) sometime over the weekend.
If you were at the Coppi party, you know that Pete and Allan are beasts.

Does this ride go through Hickory? I would really like to see the Jimmy Chitwood statue someday.

What the heck, I've done stuff way dumber than this. I'll ride it as is but for the seat, the foam in the stock one has had it. I think I have an old Brooks laying around somewhere.

As someone who spent most of my life in IN, it still trips me out to hear I-69 continuing south of Indy.

I'm fairly certain that a carbon bike with Shimano components would ***plode under Allan before he got to the start line. Not 100% certain, but with rounding, yes. OK, fine, 99.9999999999999%.
