Bike Porn

Ok here are all the photos. Notice the cool Merckx stamping on the dropouts, ignore the chipping paint and grime, I didn't have the chance or time to clean the bike up that much before I took the picture. HereNT I probably will build it up as a geared bike again here soon, this was just the quickest means for me to be able to have it rideable. The left STI lever is broken and so I just decided to strip it down to bare basics. I need to find myself a upgrade kit to get newer STI shit for the bike, I am thinking about going campy, that way if the STI mechanism breaks it would at least be serviceable. Also note how cool the made in Belgium sticker looks, and the record headset. I think I got a good deal for 500, even with the scratches in small ding in the top tube. The wheels of course I already had, I pulled them off the orange Miyata, along with the Sugino cranks. I hate to admit that I probably would have been better served to purchase a nice winter commuter with fenders, but I just swooped down on this craigslist find.

I should probably go now and brave the crowds to finish my Thanksgiving shopping. Don't forget people that Thanksgiving is at my house this year, and again hereNT I want you to bring the f'n pie in your bike bag, nana-cream nonetheless. No fucking excuses this time alright?

Beautiful ride. You got a great deal.
