Possible future for my bike.

Possible future for my bike.

I bought my bike about a year and a half ago with the inten­tion of pimp­ing it out. Or maybe not pimp­ing. Pimp­ing usu­ally has to do with adding tons of stuff. More like sim­pli­fy­ing my ride. Most parts I’ve bought over time. There was a lot of trial and error in this process.

My bike is a late 80s white Peu­geot road bike. (From what I can find I think it’s called Tour­malet.) When I bought it it had most of the orig­i­nal parts, all Shi­mano grupo, Mavic rims, that kind of stuff. So far I’ve replaced the han­dle bars with Nitto bull horns from Ben’s Cycle, the sad­dle with a nice Brooks sad­dle from IRO, the bot­tom bracket and cranks with IRO parts from Orange 20, and the back wheel with a cheapo Alex Rims wheel from Coates. I’ve been look­ing into Veloc­ity Deep-V Rims since the begin­ning because the are so hot, but I haven’t got­ten up the courage to drop $300 on that yet. When I do I think I will put a blue on the front and a white on the back. I want the blue to closely match the top tube pad I bought from R.E.Load.

Well, the future is unknown. This is only one pos­si­ble direc­tion. Besides who needs Veloc­ity rims, that just makes your bike more valu­able to steal.
