It's wonderful, Chris. I think it is interesting that you converted to
stem shifters. I have modified every bicycle I've restored to downtube
shifters, sometimes with considerable difficulty (as on a Schwinn
Continental). I also remove the suicide brake levers because I never ride
with my hands on the top of the bars, so the downtube shifters are more
natural to me.
My bikes, aside from that Schwinn) are all post-European Japanese frames
(couple Fujis and my fast bike is a Taiwanese Schwinn chromoly frame with
Campy wheels and a Japan crankset. There is a Viscount that I restored for
my son which is quite interesting. I'd like to find one of those with
about a 60 cm frame to restore for myself.
Bicycles and cameras...
