Aside from really technical single-track/mountain-bike trails, I feel like I can pretty much go anywhere on this bike... and with style, comfort and pretty decent efficiency. Sooner or later I'll sort out a decaleur, so the rando bag is a little more secure (but TBH, I've been on some pretty rough roads and it's done fine with the cinch-cords to the bars...), but other than that I feel like the bike really needs nothing.

ehcoplex Hi. Really nice bike. I have an old Peugeot with vitus tubes, I would like to convert it to 650b but I do not have the money for new wheels.
Anyway, I see that you have change the pedals. Did you re-thread the cranks. The Spidel cranks on my Peugeot have French thread that is different from contemporary cranks.
