It is a portly beast, and dropping 4-5 pounds of stuff in the front bag added some to the front load. Also, I found a new favorite in friction shifters. 7402 Dura Ace set in friction mode might surpass Simplex, as my new go to.



Found a steel frame bigger than this bike...
That is one tall frame! 68 cm? I have a Schwinn Voyageur 11.8 that has been powder coated if you have an interest. Too tall for me!
