and after.
Equipped with a Nitto Campee front rack with detachable lowrider mounts.
Original Shimano Deore drivetrain with vintage Nervar cranks that came from a salvaged schwinn sports tourer. The alloy fenders are from Velo Orange who manufacture a variety of constructeur style, high quality bicycle parts for bike tourers and randonneurs for relatively cheap prices. I have always owned a lot of bikes but always pretty inexpensive junkers that I have restored. Because I don't own a car and my bike is such an essential part of my day to day, I decided that it wouldn't be frivilous to invest in a well built, lightweight and beautiful looking bike for myself. The only thing I think the bike needs is a good generator powered lighting set and I will then be touring in style this summer.

Nice build.
Dig it. The rack is definitely special.
Congratulations on this beautiful build. You're right to invest in your sole means of transportation, Brooks saddle, VO fenders etc. You won't regret the $ spent. You might want to drop by my Lugged Steel blog sometime. Cheers from BC!
