Here's photos of the T-700 I built up for my wife. Since this build, the saddle has been replaced with a Brooks women's saddle, and it has stainless Berthoud fenders - couldn't find any recent pics though; I'll try to take some this weekend. She loves it, rides it all the time. It's really a fantastic bike for touring or whatever. This is the 85 model, I believe - with canti brakes. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/116897251123335733984/albums/5747695988690151937
