This project started as a way to use up extra parts I had lying around. But it ended up being a very nice bike! Some new parts and some used but very good condition, and everything upgradeable of course.
Original bits:
Wheels (real Shimano hubs, nothing fancy but in excellent shape and ready for a jillion more miles, Weinman rims (remember them?) that are like new)
Brakes (Hayes mechanical discs that work and feel amazing)
Shifters and derailleurs (just Alivio units but they work perfect)
New:
Crankset, bottom bracket and chain (the cassette is used but in fine shape)
Dramatically upgraded:
Fork (I put this old Reba SL on here because it had no home. This fork is probably worth more than the rest of the bike)
Bars (sweet Holzfeller bars that haven't seen much use and look really great with the paint scheme I think).
The frame definitely has some stories to tell. But there's no damage other than some cosmetic stuff, and sadly the dark rose colour has faded a bit. But overall it's a decent looking machine, with all the mechanical stuff freshly tuned and/or replaced. I left the Chromag seat on it because it looks cool (very comfortable too BTW) but it is rather badly dog-chewed on the back section so no problem to replace it if you want.
Go ahead and make an offer, but if you want it a lot cheaper than asking I will replace the Reba with its original Dart fork that still works fine, just a bit heavier and a lot less sophisticated. If you want to go crazy we can set it up with a 27.5" fork and front wheel for that mullet style. That would be fun actually. Come take it for a spin at Lynx and Hare Cycles in Alton, just south of Orangeville.
