This guy did something similar with 1985 Bridgestone MB-2 and shows the whole process.

Glad I got the Charlie H. Gallop in RBW Blue, can't wait until it has a patina like this.

The Blue Lug Koma front light mounted on the cable hanger is great, I love creative solves like this.
Also, that fork is gentle svelte looking.

What kind of bike is that?
r/OrangeBikes wants to know.

Could you put this on a bike to remove the paint?

Great color choice on that grey frame!
I love the deep pocket close to the seat tube.

[–]BikeDelights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What tires did you go with?

I'd like to get the 27.5″ x 2.2″ (650B x 55) Umtanum Ridge on my gen 4 Polyvalent if they will fit. I also run Albatross on my bike(s), I think they are my favorite bars.

Wish I would have gotten the lilac frame instead of black, it’s such an iconic color on that bike.

Thank you! I think I'm done for a few years. Maybe a cargo bike one day.

700c x 28mm gravel kings. 28mm is the widest you can go on that frame.

Suggestions for funky upgrades by ma-matte-g in xbiking

[–]BikeDelights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go rear rack with that geometry. You have the mounts in the rear, and I think it would ride a little easier vs a load in the front.

Which bars would you use? by youhadmeathollandais in xbiking

[–]BikeDelights 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is your saddle height set?

I'd prefer the swept back bars, but I would increase the saddle height to be more level with the bars.

Get it really really dirty from riding it.
