Good choice! Personally, I believe that my working bikes (1993 X0-1 and 1973-74 era PX-10 ) deserve decent parts and I'm not a bit apologetic about using them. For one thing, you can never have enough Nitto:) These bikes also have finer frames than their cosmetics would suggest and I've

Back in 2007, I bought a Bleriot frame, had SS couplers installed, and built it up. My gruppo is the shiny silver Shimano compatible set. It looked very nice and shiny, and was meant to be my rando bike. My then-commuter/rando bike, a Sekai 2400, died a horrible death just before I built up

Chris, I have Albatross cro-mo bars and Nitto Tallux Stem - 25.4mm - 12cm. Both used for two years on my Hunqapillar. There were a few drops on the trail, but I'd be perfectly happy riding them from a safety perspective. $137 new. How's $110 including shipping sound? With abandon, Patrick On

Howdy, I recently saved a late 80's Trek from the landfill. I forget the model but very middle of the range. The frame is not rideable due to someone putting a large screw through the waterbottle mount and straight through the downtube. You are welcome to any of the components on the bike for
