According to DB this is bike #109 and one of about 10-20 painted in this color.

Couple pics with all new tires, suede seat and rerouted front brake cable. I need to replace all the remaining cables and chain, but that'll have to wait a bit.

In my opinion, you need to remove those bar ends

very nice find!

Awesome find, I can't believe what great condition it looks to be in. Nice one. Looks much better with the rigid forks - if you need a home for the sus forks drop me an email

You took the sweetest bike you own and put it in the dungeon to photograph? Fail.

I is sorry, if the freaking sun would just stay up a bit longer this would have never happened, maybe I'll get a better chance today

Finish bike. Admire. Have a microbrew of your choice. Relax. Photograph next day.

Dude have you not been reading the news, last night there wasn't going to be a next day... WWJD?

Well the Apocalypse didn't come so here are more pics. The bike will get a complete overhaul after the holidays, this is as good as it gets for now.

In the long run I may try for a Turbo seat and maybe some Specialized tires, also the cyclopian head light is definitely going back on. Otherwise the bike will stay just as it is.
