Beautiful bicycle indeed. Very I had the Bianchi San Jose I bought in 2006 fitted with a Shimano Nexus 8 internal gear hub and hybrid saddle/bars. In most riding, in- town, I use just three of the gears ... but when the going gets hilly, I'm glad I have the others! You've likely seen these

Yep, only 40 lbs. Everyone claims that you need a super light bicycle. With me on it this bicycle is only 10% heavier than the aluminum one I gave away several years back. She ain't much different than the one me Gran-pa gave me when I was 10. And you have to admit she goes well with that

This one has a registration tag from 1974 on it so it is at least that old. The Dunelt I had as kid was a '53 or '54 model and did not have the white fender tip, but it did have nifty gold pen striping on the fenders. I understand that the white fender became a legal requirement over there

Thanks Marnie, The reason the house tilts is that I had changed the batteries in the camera a while back and it loses all its settings when I do that (not supposed to but it was a common problem and I bought it used so could not send it in for the warranty fix) and the remote feature was

It's not a super-light bicycle that's the real deal. It's lightweight wheels. Rotating mass is the mass you really feel. The rest of the bike only matters for ease of handling (it's always easier to throw around a lighter bike). Note the fastest bikes out there are undergeared 45lb monsters (DH
