I'm another SJ rider. I have two, both from '86 or so. Lots of mods. Albatros bars on one, dirt drop bars on the other. Grip King or Sylvan Touring pedals, gearing changes to fit me better, fairly new saddles on each. Mostly-slick tires, 1.5 or 1.75 inch wide.
One bike stays at the office for noon errands, the other is my commuter and home-based errands bike. They swap roles every now and then. I have a rear rack on each and use panniers for most things. If I'm going to the grocery store, I usually mount a milk crate (a legal one from the Container Store) to the rack using toe clip straps. I bought both in the last three years. I've replaced a couple of wheel bearings, repacked the BB on both. I haven't touched the headset bearings on either. One has a new IRD freewheel (13-23 5sp) the other has its original FW. They work great for me. I'm lusting after Betty evil eye and all :-), but am not ready to drop for that yet. -mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
