1996 KHS Aero Track

A fitting (and much more logical) replacement to my Yamaguchi. True Temper brothers separated by only a few years and a few thousand dollars. Effective top tube is more like 55.5/56. Fits great and rides smooth. Gonna keep this one low key and just enjoy it; rust, paint chips and all.

Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
Sugino 75 / Sugino 75

Pedals:

Drivetrain/Cog/Chainring/Chain:

Handlebars/Stem:

Saddle/Seatpost:
Flite saddle / 26.8

Front Wheel/Hub/Tire:
Ellipse / Schwalbe DD
