I always play the waiting game.<br />Anyhow, you sure have a talent as a wrench!

I put an extra long stem riser and moustache bars on it so he could stretch out. I believe it originally came with 27-inch wheels, but it worked well converted to 700c. I purchased some Tektro long-reach brakes and silver shifters from Rivendell. Bought them from Grant Petersen himself when we stopped through Walnut Creek during a trip to the Bay Area. My nephew works at Regis and rides to work quite a bit.MT cyclistnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21208332.post-68688237089074931782012-03-11T07:50:02.857-06:002012-03-11T07:50:02.857-06:00Hey, remember that the more good stuff you unload ...Hey, remember that the more good stuff you unload now is the more good stuff that doesn't get lost along with the junk should an "unfortunate" event occur as it will to all of us either sooner or later.<br /><br />You are improving the standard for future collectibles.Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
