I got this bike for stupid money the other day and trying to decide what to do with it. Already got a road bike and ss commuter, do I need/want a cyclocross bike or tourer? This has braze ons for cantis and is drilled for calipers. As well as mounts for paniers.
531 frame and hearts in lugs possibly mean it's something very lovely underneath the current paintjob and make me want to actually use it, rather than sell it on. I got it for the dura ace chainset it came with tbh.
So what do I do? Get it a lovely respray and do it justice or keep it as an (admittedly lovely on the inside) beater?
Tourer/cross? Geared/ss commuter? (too big for fixed with my stumpy legs).
ta.
Well, my next project is a fixed cx beater, fancy giving this fixed offroad malarkey a blast... that frame looks rip for something similar.
