Thanks, Tom... Actually I think you bartered this saddle to me... knew it would find the right bike :) On Monday, May 12, 2014 10:07:37 AM UTC-4, Pudge wrote: Wow, Bobby – that is really classy.

I wanted to leave it as original as possible, but I simply had to give it a Brooks saddle, swap the narrow touring bars and down tube shifters for wider bars (Noodle 48s with Dirt Drop stem) and bar-end shifters (vintage Shimano, spring-loaded). And although I would like to run fatter tires, width choices for 27 inch rims are very limited. The wheels are beautiful, though (40-spoke rear, 36-spoke front) and I went with the widest 27x 1 1/4 tire I could find - Panaracer Paselas... It rides beautifully, so I will stick with the current setup for now (before considering changing to 700c wheels).. I will add racks, bags and fenders next. This ride quality of this bike is exceptional.
