so i've been talking with my uncle for the past year about buying this from him but last week he went ahead and *gave* it to me and said "think of me when you ride it"
so stoked! no way i could have paid him what it was worth and the gifting takes the bike's juju to the next level in my mind.
its been sitting for 15 years so i started off with new tires, tubes, rim strips, and repacking hubs and bottom bracket
took for a spin around the block and good lord i can't believe i used to do 100 miles/day in the fucked-up-bent-over posture that these bikes force you into
new gooseneck, bars, and pedals ASAP!!!
