62cm Zunow. Paint is far from perfect, but it rides like a dream - comfortable, responsive, quick, and corners great. Replaced the original tri-color 600 with ultegra 6700, dura ace, and some easier...

I’ve used Lemon Pledge exclusively on my bikes since 1988 and it helps tremendously in keeping them clean, waxed, and protected. Super easy to wipe off dirt. Cheap and easy to find.

Bump. This is a great deal for someone. Unfortunately the seat is not wide enough for me. I have 3 other Rivet saddles and I love them. Construction/quality is first rate.

Glad you picked it up. I saw that on the Madison CL a week or so ago and was thinking about it, but I have too many touring bikes as is. That'll make a fine ride. Congrats!

yes they are. I’m running new brake and derailleur cables, new chain, and greasing the seatpost and stem before going for a longer ride. Hubs and bottom bracket spun freely so I’m leaving that alone...

Using a vintage bike would be fun. I am partial to Cannondale touring models, but there’s lots of good manufacturers to choose from. Older Miyata 600/610s are quite nice, too. Brand isn’t nearly as...
