It's old and a bit rusty, it's not been repainted, it's not particularly beautiful, it doesn't have light fancy components, but it's one of my favorite bikes and I like it

Fresh Garbage
You have no idea. I love teh sparkie paints
At the top of the hill outside of my apartment. ~11% most of the way, not very long but hard as hell without my clipless pedals
maybe this is a better perspective
now with mustache bars because this bike needs to be able to do more than just be a slow ass townie with awkward bars

I mean, it's for a bike that's probably gonna be just a slow-ass townie but should i have gotten the 'stache bars?

The problem with porteur bars is that you need a REALLY short stem with a LOT of rise in order for it to be comfortable. Most road bikes just aren't setup that way.
