This is a wonderful bicycle. What other quality bike from the early 80s can you put 700x32 tires and fenders on?
I just had my first ride with the Detroit Randonneurs on Saturday. I only did the century ride, and thoroughly enjoyed myself.
For decent roads and light gravel, this was perfect.
A few little items from the recent Velo Orange sale + some purchases from the Rivendell Owners Bunch did not hurt, either.
