Woo hoo. vintage Canadian road rocket. I have its brother (sister) in pink. If you ever find a source for replacement brake hoods let me know.

She is! Do you have any pictures? Luckily my hoods are in pretty good condition. Have you tried asking around on any forums?

She's down to the frame right now awaiting a rebuild. I may recable the whole works so the hoods may not be an issue.

She's in the queue behind the Nishiki Aero 2 and Spinelli Track Bike and Japanese Bianchi (was pearl white but the paint flaked so now she looks like a dalmation),

My buddies and I biked over to Gruene, Texas (touristy town) on Sunday morning last weekend and we walked around all over that place. There were motorcyclists, families, and joggers everywhere and everyone was in their particular attires. /shrug
 
Maybe next weekend we go out I'll get a snap of us all in our gear

Is anyone else out there loving the KMC X9 chain. Reviews are coming in saying low cost and better than Shimano at any level or cost.

Got around to converting my Fuji Folder to singlespeed.  I still need a new crankset.  Running on the 28T chainring haha, and 16T ACS Crossfire Pro freewheel.  It feels like a 26" BMX.  I can hillclimb very easily, but I need more top end speed.  I'd be fine with a 32-34T chainring.
It's still kinda heavy at 29bs...might swap out the stock handlebar and seatpost.  Too poor for anything else.
