Did some more upgrades today.  This bike is also has to get me to & from work when the weather is nice, so in addition to the Kong Beetle lights, the cushy seat & the cable-lock, it now has a bike bell.  Europeans are crazy about making sure bikes are "legal".  Had to swap out the sushi bars for some mosh bars, since there wasn't enough room to fit the bell on the 7/8" grip section (mosh bars have the taper closer to center).  I also lowered the seat a tad & moved the bars in a bit.

Oh, and i got a Fly F-16 jersey to match my gloves, so now I can practically fit in with the european style of accessorizing with your bike. 

I HATE It!

Actually , I like it.  People don't appreciate how difficult it is to get all the colors just right like that.

Well it is officially out of my stable.  On Monday, the frame & cranks are going to my niece.  I loved this bike--I just don't have room.  C'est la vie.  I did save most of the parts, so maybe someday it will live on in another build. 

Nice. I have one of these frames. Picked it up with some other frames and parts.
It was stripped down and took me forevvvvvvvver to figure out which Eastern frame
it was.

I'm a twin top tube junkie myself...so this one has never been built. I wouldn't mind trying
a new school frame like this...but I don't have a suitable fork for it.
