Hey Ricky,
My Pletscher was $15 I believe, from our local bike Co-op StL Bikeworks. They
had several old ones lying about. I like the versatility of it quite a bit.
Not quite as shiny as my chrome bits, but I’ll try polishing it up and see if
that works.

DOES make sense

I love that you used a Pletscher rack. I have one on my Atlantis and my
wife has one on her Appaloosa. I always pick them up at flea markets if
they are under $5. They are almost always missing hardware, but there is a
way to mount them using the leftover P-clamps that come with Nitto racks.
Here’s the rundown, as best as I remember it while typing this fro bed:
-This is an MIT 51cm Samuel Hillborne, made for Caliper brakes.
-brakes are the Riv caliper Tektros
-Shimano Tiagra brake levers.
-shifters are some Shimano thumbies, rigged up by Rich at Kenton Cycle
Repair, in Portland.
Congrats on the new bike..it's a beauty. Grips look new and the saddle just
worn enough to be comfortable. What wheel size does it have?
