I bought this off my bike-nut friend last summer, and been riding to work ever since:
 

 
I keep meaning to change the types to something a little less extreme given I really only ride in bike lanes or pavement, but I'm lazy.

oh how I long for a fully chromed frame...

 

[JeckyllAndHyde]

nice frame indeed - I'm still looking for a nice track frame:/ btw - is it really chromed? its got titanium-look to me.
 
I've got a nice Cinelli Campione Del Mondo - road bar for my build - lookinf for some decent brake levers and I'm ready to go

Yup, it's fully chromed. I'd actually like to have it stripped again and redone in a white/cream and sky blue palette, but I'm happy with the way it is for now. It certainly turns heads.

I love the clean look, and the chrome is great!

Popped my first spoke today on the way to work. I took it in to the shop under warranty, but they told me popped spokes are not covered

. The guy said it was normal wear and tear... and is going to happen all the time. Do you guys think that it's reasonable to assume that spokes will continue to pop periodically? Kinda demoralizing thinking of being 20 miles from home with a non-patchable problem.

it will happen more often, but all the time seems unlikely to me. I ride a lot, weigh over 260lbs and only had 3 maybe 4 spokes break on me in the past 15 years. If you do a periodical check on your spokes, and check for proper tension a lot of problems can be prevented. I used to check every 3 months, but now I only do it once a year.
 
You can also carry a couple of spare spokes, that way you can do an emergency roadside repair to avoid being stranded.

I have an old 81-82 Bridgestone 700 I really adore. All the vintage Suntour stuff.
 
I've only upgraded the brakes, and put on bar end shifters.

Will be riding my first ever century this Sunday...Portland Century. Too bad I have a physical job and have to work the next day.

 

[Grimloki]

Worse yet is the Portland Head-Fi meet is this Sunday!!!
