This is my free project bike I picked up in February. It's my first shot at really building/overhauling a bike. I call it my Mutt with the mix of parts on it. Brakes are Suntour Superbe with Dia-Compe aero levers.

Steel...

Submitted by LoneWolf15 on 05/07/2009.

It is likely either Ishiwata or Tange chromoly steel. Probably single or double-butted. Often there's a tubing sticker somewhere. 80's Japanese frames from Nishiki, Miyata, and Panasonic (along with some others by Shogun or 3Rensho) are often quite well-made.

Please tell me you're getting those flaking, dry-rotted tires replaced, for safety's sake.

Tires

Submitted by gitanesteel on 05/07/2009.

Thanks. The tires/rims have already been replaced. The rotted ones came with the bike and I hadn't put the new ones on. It's now got Specialized Touring 27 X 1" tires.
