I retired the coroplast fenders. They were getting a little soggy. I replaced them with Berthoud stainless steel fenders. Very nice.
I replaced the cranky old Sun Tour rear derailleur with a Shimano Crane.
The front of the bike.
A brass buckle on the saddle bag.
The brake lever on the dirt drop bars.
I like to write about what's on my mind. It often has something to do with bicycling.

No more coroplast? I won't be able to recognize you!
It all lends a certain aire of respectability.
Stylin'
Those Crane Derailleurs are nice
I'm gettin' pretty fancy. I'm thinking of installing two water bottle cages -- on the same bike.
It was probably time for those fenders to go. They most likely had that old politician stink...
I still have an old Crane that I bought new back in 1977. It's in great condition. Seeing yours makes me want to set-up a five-speed.
The Crane works great. I'm running more than 5 but less than 8. I'm not sure. Friction allows me to ignore those things. All gears over three are just bonus gears.
I miss the coroplast but I love what you've done with the place! (Nice buckle.)
