Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That exact one, or similar?

This is a good friend's '70. He's had it since high school, and recently rebuilt it. Mechanically, it's better than stock (new motor, suspension, electronics, etc.). Paint is coming...eventually.

Was only going to ride for 30 mins in the neighborhood.

I mounted my tire on my wheel that will be upgraded to 11 speed from 9. The tires are not designated 11 or 9 speed so not to worry that life has passed you by.

I like the tires despite being low budget.
