1971 Competition Ride And Handling

After I realigned the frame and forks on my 1971 Competition plus fixed the headset, it became a really enjoyable riding and handling bike. I probably put more miles on it in the last year than on any of my other bikes... Not bad for a beater!

Before - eBay pic


After - I put on a set of Stronglight 93 cranks with 50T-38T chainrings, a 14-32T 6 speed Suntour Pro Compe FW, Campy seatpost and lots of other changes. It's set up for gravel crunching.
