Lol...I meant it doesn't climb as well, it doesn't accelerate as well and it takes more effort to sustain 24+mph than my modern aluminum/carbon rig. Other than that, the bike is beautiful and it is very comfortable. It will probably be my nice weather long distant bike.

Yes sir, but with brifters and a modern wheelset.

Moving into the Bike Cave


The colonial house remodel is in its finishing stages, and getting ready to be shown. Being incapable of living up to those standards, I have been included in the list of items which have to go. I go happily.

Like so many other great bikes I had I sold it and tried something else.

I can think of 5 or 6 it would be great to have back.

^ Interesting that the seller doesn't actually ride the bike, but uses it instead like a cart. When I saw there was no post/saddle, I figured he just stood on the pedals all day - until I noticed there was no chain, either!
