My wife has been wanting a road bike that she wont be afraid to leave in front of a place while shopping or whatever, and I have been pretty frustrated with my "vintage build up" so I went and bought this for myself and will be giving her the half upgraded vintage bike. I'm going to strip it and paint it some girly color for her. Nice to have a wife the same height as me... our bikes are interchangable :thumb:

Anyway, I scored this for $222. All older shimano 600 components. Perfectly god enough for me. Looks to be in great shape, upgraded with some clincher rims.

You got your wife your mish mashed bike for your anniversary? Since this is one to be worshipped, shouldn't she get it?

Enjoy your new bike.
No, no, this has nothing to do with our anniversary. I got her a shiny new rock so we can build a ring together to replace the one that was stolen in the robbery a few weeks ago.

Nice! But..........when did you get married?? And congratulations on getting married and getting that nice bike via ebay!

I scored this for $38 (total), a little paint and some elbow grease.
