Rides nicely. I've taken it on a couple of rides downtown. Yes, the kickstand is not original I could take it off, but for a bike like this it's functional. My guess is that it didn't come with a kickstand originally.
Regarding the tubing, my "tinking the tubes" test tells me it's not double-butted. That's in keeping with the original function--taking a student around campus in Italy. Nice to imagine some of the scenery this bike saw back in the day. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com On Feb 4, 2013, at 2:00 PM, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thatsa nice -- it's good to see details that were added even to gas > pipe -- I am guessing that this is not Columbus?
