This is my winter bike. Come summer, I'll probably rebuild it as a normal bike. Not much to say about it: Bought it for 20 dollars with a broken cotter crank and a brand new 30 dollar derailer installed. Replaced just what I needed to, largely with parts I had kicking around. I'm a big fan of the dummy lever.
