Tater gets a steel
I had been haunting Craigslist for the last few months looking for a vintage steel steed to turn into a winter/errand bike. There had been a few pop up, but were way too big for me. So, I was content to keep looking, I figured something would pop up eventually. Good things come to those who wait! This last weekend I see an ad come up for a 'vintage bike - must go...' The picture is of a Bridgestone. Oooh, steel! After seeing it in person and finding that the frame was in great condition; a ding in the paint here and there, and actually fit me, I came home with a Bridgestone Sport Touring 100 bike, complete with the original Suntour components. (I am thinking it is an early '90's model.) The tires are sun rotted and will be replaced as soon as I can get to the LBS. The squishy bar tape I am not too keen on, so that will become a weekend project. The seat will also be replaced, as will the platform pedals. Other than that, I am rather tickled pink with my find! This ride will have to satisfy my steel needs until I can order my custom steel in a couple months!
