I live for the CABE
I picked this up off Rusty Hornet. I like most was smitten by the Silver Mist paint and chrome lugs. I also really liked Rusty's choice of tires and white bar tape. Original would have been gumwalls and black tape. (ughh). I continued Rustys plan to return it to original so here is what I changed.
NOS Schwinn barcon shifters. In my mind this meant going back to Schwinn white tape since the shifter cable housings run under the handlebars and that section would have looked pretty thick with padded tape.
YFC saddle
KKT RF-SF pedals with KKT LL toe clips
Shimano Titleist front derailleur
Schwinn GT-300 rear derailleur
Gold 5 speed freewheel Shimano made for Schwinn
Wheel reflectors
I replaced all the cables and since the brake housings were kind of rough did them also.
This is a great looking bike! A worthy successor to the World Voyageur Thanks to Metacortex for his always great info!
