Actually it was originally 120mm and needed to go to 130mm... it wasn't that bad - I used a pair of bush trimming shears (maybe an unusual method, but it worked really well) - basically, i padded the...

Thanks for those suggestions! I like the Ritchey beacons, but the Surly truck stops are an interesting choice as well - great to have a few good options!

Thanks - It's a bit of a modern/vintage mix, as I wanted all the functionality/convenience of the brifter (for rear, at least), wider range, capable tires, but tried to keep the aesthetic somewhat...

Not sure how the Pro Tour compares to the Comp TA (1984, just before the Ironman) and Ironman Master, but I picked up each of these for pretty cheap (I think). The Comp TA is Tange2, Shimano 600 and...

Hi Frkl - I originally had 38c tires on there (just some old hybrid tires I had to start with, but not very knobby) ... probaby could get away with 40c, depending on the profile and tread.

I just picked up one just like it for $50 - it's Reynolds 531, possibly 1980-1. Being optimistic, I'll say it might be worth $300... but I'm a hoarder of bikes, so I'll never know!
