Okay - so we shouldn't ask what the final cost was?
The genteel cyclist knows better than to ask.
I like the look of it, though the stem is perhaps a little erect...
It is an odd-looking stem, but it actually works well for this bike--the higher bar position is better (for me, at least) for trail riding.
i especially like the cranks/chainset. Not an old shimano DX one is it?
It is an old Shimano set, but not a DX, I don't think. It also has a Vuelta bash ring on it.
Nice back Scott.
That's very kind of you--I was thinking that it was getting a bit flabby.
Nice to see you visiting us here again, too!
Thanks--it's good to (virtually) see everybody again.
Like the yellow bar tape, though.
That stuff sat in my parts box for years waiting for a bike to match.
(I got it just before I retired my old green Schwinn.)
