so, the "Margo Renee" rides again, this time as a winter bike. aluminum cyclocross frame. ideal for this application.
the idea was to build this back up as a commuter, using only parts on hand in the garage.
the two exceptions:
> had to replace the bottom bracket; the bearings were really crunchy
> had to replace the inner chainring; teeth were just too scary
no front derailleur, as i only had one bar end shifter. maybe i'll break the rules & buy one if i come across one later.
6 speed suntour freewheel & mavic MA40 rear wheel
campagnolo nuovo record rear derailleur
went with the "aero" brake levers. it was kind of a toss up between those and the Modolo levers with the cables flapping in the breeze. guess i was feeling 1988 instead of 1958.
of course, i was too impatient to put on the fenders before riding it... and guess what? it snowed after i got to work.
