Coalfield
Finally riding a big boys bike
….and I like it
Rickert touring.
Purchased as a frame and fork with some extra bits negotiated after the initial sale, from a collector on Bainbridge Is.
^^^ an old pic, staged to check tire clearance, 33 cyclocross fit, but not with off-road clearances.
I did not get to this build as quickly as I should have. Cancer will do that to ya.
Room for big ones, maybe 35mm smoothies, if need be, certainly 32. Shift cable rollers, a first for me to see (+ keep).
Nice lugs.
Rolling with 27mm in below pic, 25s above, but obvious room for more.
Check ride - bare yellow cloth, lemony.
Campa Gran Sport ders/shifters and a newer VO 46/30 crank, Galli brake levers Ambrosio stem, 3t bars, Newbaum's cotton tape.
And closer-up of bars with one coat of clear, thin shellac. Bit deeper (darker?). And longer lasting as yellow.
