Old School Hero
I am trying to downsize a bit as the bike cave is way overflowing here lately. But this one was too cheap, and too nice to pass up. About the only real issue were dry rotted tires and hoods. Everything else seems just fine.
This is how I picked it up.
And some detailed shots after a little work on it.
Beautiful, original Suntour Sprint Components
Finally, a pic from this afternoon. Still waiting on replacement hoods to arrive so I can fix those and rewrap the bars. The bottle cages are a really close match and then the Look Keo Pedals are my go to standard. Bikes now down to 23 lbs 2 ozs. The wheels are fairly heavy and may get upgraded once I see how it rides. The new saddle gets me the setback my knees need and puts the bars about 1/4 short of my optimum reach with the original stem.
