One is original (except for the rear DR and crankset), and the other is not. The complete bike was bought in central PA, the other started as a frame/fork from Colorado for used on a trainer, but it has become a favorite. This winter the Colorado frame was rebuilt into a 12 speed using vintage parts. The original Huret rear DR was nice and light but the main spring was kaput. An early Shimano Tourney does the job. I may be dropped on the climbs but I'll catch up on the downhills...
