Yeah, the photos do stink, but these are for just for reference purposes. This blog won't be chronological, so let's jump ahead to 1986. I just had a great touring bike stolen from my apartment. This is the machine I bought back then to replace that bike, and it was my main ride up until the spring of '09. Mostly original parts, including Shimano biopace chainrings.Look at how tall the stem is! The frame was too small for me, but I was stubborn and decided to just make adjustments to accommodate the frame size, including the stem and the seatpost. That was a pretty bad idea in retrospect. I thought that I'd save weight by doing that, but what did it matter on those long tours hauling 70+ pounds.
