I finally got around to taking some pics of my SS build yesterday, so I thought I'd post a couple of Before/After shots. It's nothing special, an 83 Japanese-made Bianchi, but the ride is very nice. As a bonus, I removed the fenders just in time for the rain and slush we've had for the last week and a half.

Here's my SS commuter, it's a great ride in the city. Yeah, I know... I tightened up the chain after I saw the pic.

1978 3Rensho 'Track Modulo' -- top of the line frame from that year. Verified built by Yamaguchi in the first year of 3Rensho's existence. Head badge shows original name of 3Rensho, Cherubim Cycles. Cinelli fastback stays and chromed fork crown, Nikko cast bottom bracket, Tange long-point lugs. An impressively cool bit of 3Rensho history. Hope everyone enjoys.
