Retro Newbie
I’m wondering iif anyone could offer me some advice. don’t claim to be a hard core or majot enthusiast. I’ve only recently fell in love with riding at all. I’ll admit it started out of necessity. But I grew to love it. I ride my bike for transportation. I destroyed two road bikes riding over grass, riding over curbs, hitting potholes, etc. I like to ride fast. (at least what I consider to be fast. Initially I bought the dean so that I could ride a little rougher. I started researching this bike because it rides so damn well and I wanted to know more about it. I am learning there is a lot if history with this thing and I’d like to know more about it. I don’t want to try ti make this bike something that it is not. And I don’t want to downgrade. But I need to buy a new crank and I need to shorten the stem. I’m 5 ft..2. The reach is way too far. And the crank has clearky been swapped. This one is cheap and ugly as hell. Can anyone offer recommendations or advice on what would be best? Or offer me any information about the origins of the TET. I know of Teasdale. But I’d like to learn more ..
