Distinguishing features

Deore MT60 shifters, derailleurs, and brakeset. (Designed for 6-speed, still index with 7-speed.) Deore DX hubset (absolutely beautiful) Biopace crankset 28-38-48t (it's an acquired taste, but it's what I run on my own bike!) Sealed cartridge bottom bracket (MUCH lower maintenance) New Kool Stop salmon pads up front and (nearly-new) cartridge salmon cartridge pads in polished holders on the rear brake, for optimum wet-weather stopping power on the machined sidewall rims. Better performance and significantly better aesthetics than stock. New (old stock) Ambrosio Camel rear rim (very nice brand) 7-Speed 11-28t cassette. This theoretically 'shouldn't' work on this old freehub, but in practice it does, giving a wider, but faster gear range. (If you regularly deal with STEEP hills, LMK, and we can look into lower gearing.) Leather PDW grips Brand new Tange Passage headset SR SP-152 Pedals
