Finally riding a big boys bike
I picked this one up Saturday night, drove 20 minutes in a blizzard, Craigslist find. I thought the chrome had rust from the pictures but nicely surprised when I went to look at it, it was grease with dirt on it that I saw in the pictures. Only a couple very minor rust spots. The bike has maybe one or two paint chips, going to clean up real nice.
More money in the accessories than I paid for the whole bike, probably just keep the speedo with 53 miles on it.
The rack doesn't look right, maybe for a different size bike?
I need to find the correct seat or maybe a Brooks67, what you think?
I will try and find the right tires, that may be the hardest part or a tire recommendation?
Looks like the frame is stamped as April 1980 but I know on these later bikes you can tell the build date from the head badge, haven't figured that out yet.
Maybe someone here has some tires.
Thanks, jammer
