Original Brooks and post

Old XT's & new silver chain

21 tooth cog in back?

This was given to me by my father in law. Every thing is original in these pics except the grips, pedals, chain, brake pads, tires & tubes, all of which I still have.
I added the splash guard, bell & a larger cog in back so it would be geared a bit lower.

Actually with the new larger pads it’s not too bad, though wet steel rims were never a good brakeing service.
I wish KoolStop made some replacement pads for it!
