Purchased this for pretty cheap from a customer at the LBS I work at. I believe it to be a 1985 era bike, but correct me if I am wrong. I initially intended it to be a comfortable winter training bike, but since then I have fitten 700x32C Panaracer Pasela tires. Im shocked the frame had the clearance for such a wide tire given its age. I had to grind down a small portion of the rear brake caliper in order to avoid rubbing,but I am am now confident this bike should be able to handle some gravel epics well. The panaracer tires are phenomenal and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wider more treaded tire for winter/all-road/gravel riding.

Current Stage Info:
Recently installed a Velo Orange Grand Cru stem in the 100mm length.
I also was able to build up a set of new wheels for the bike. Velo orange grand cru hubs, laced to H Plus Son TB-14 rims, with DT Revolution spokes and brass nipples. They sound great, and look even better.
I am very happy with the classic aesthetic, juxtaposed with the new parts.
