As mentioned above I recently decided to treat the old girl to a couple upgrades: Ritchey ForceLite handlebar and Nitto S-65 seatpost. Nice making something I already love just a bit nicer
Side note: Crazy that this seatpost is in production since (at least) 1988. I love the Japanese for their occasional refusal to change something that just works.
Feels ahead of its time and also looks timeless, classic and understated. The frame is beautifully engineered and executed: where form & function are in perfect harmony.
Sounds like some design bullshit from one of my client presentations, but in this instance what I wrote I believe is very true!
