It's new bike day here in mid-Michigan. My T400 from the Spokane Goodwill showed up today.
Many thanks to our very own @
Reco Very for facilitating, and to the downtown branch of "TheBikeHub" for doing an excellent packing job and shipping promptly.
Not to mention @
lorica for alerting me to a great find.
Below is the reason I HAD to have this bike -- clearly, these were separated at birth. Mine has a lot more miles and it shows.. it also has no original parts left except the crank. Some nice upgrades on the WA bike -- crank, derailer, brakes -- XT in front, Ritchey in back -- a nice seat post ("RT"?? never heard), Nitto Technomic stem, wide no-name bars and Shimano 7sp bar-end shifters. The wheels are in need of service and will probably go to a lesser bike.
Anyway, I am excited about this. Not great cycling weather, as you can see, so now is the time to get my bikes ready for spring.
cheers -mathias
