Well done, its gorgeous

Hi Phillyc I really like this bike, I tried to do a similar thing with my old motobecane, and fitting the bar end shifters was a nightmare. They work well now though. It seems really natural to have them on upright bars. Agree with the fenders too they look lovely. Steve

thanks Steve!

thanks Steve! your moto looks sweet as well.

Love

thanks for the compliment,

I swear i saw a bike exactly like this without the brooks saddle, and commuter handlebars at rice university. It has been sitting in the same spot since i can remember.

these old motos are so nice to ride.
I commute on mine everyday.
