Figured I'd post this one as is before I modify it a good deal in the next week. This has been my daily commuter and touring bike for the last ~2 years. I'm sure I've put hundreds of miles on it as I've been living car free during that time. I've been running a Bendix red band single speed this whole time, but i live along the bluffs of the Mississippi, so my touring options are limited if I don't move to gears. So I'm going to be converting to a six speed drum brake set up. My hand is kinda being forced with some other add ons; some modern stuff is really nice, though it doesn't look the part. I'll be adding modern brake levers, low rider front racks, etc. I'll add pictures when done; heading out on a 230 mile tour in two weeks!
