I needed a good city commuter but I just wasn’t really into any of the new bikes so I decided to fix up an old one. Just put on the new wheels and cables and holy moly this thing is smooth!
I got a 90’s 700 frame off Craigslist for $120. It was all original, even the stock tires and tubes which cracked as I pulled them off. I replaced pretty much all the components with basic off the shelf Shimano stuff.
I neglected to put on a spoke/chain guard and of course on my first ride the chain gets stuck and bent a spoke on my new wheel!
I got some great pictures though.
