Hey, nice bike, I used to ride like the wind, I road thousands of miles on a bike very similar, We road bikes that were 21-22lbs. My best bike was a Nishiki, a 21lb rocket A Chromolly frame 21 speed. I had a few over the years but that one was my baby, cost me a fortune in 73 at about $700 if I remember right. I still have the saddle bags I used while touring. I lived on my bikes, I could ride 100 miles easy 5-6 hrs. My legs were like motors that just ran while I sat on my seat and enjoyed the scenery. Its all in the breathing, get that right while in shape to ride and you can ride for ever.

Nice! I have another 30 mile coming up next month

I'm planning on doing a 220 mile trek next year, two day event, 110 each day. I'm psyched

I rode 1 trip Vancouver to Reading California then hit the desert and took a bus home. Another trip I took the train to San Fransisco and road down #1 to San Louis Obisbo. Another I took my bike to Hawaii in Oct 77 with the idea of riding around Oahu, then off to Maui, never made it I stayed on the beach with a bunch of hippy's till July 78.

The bike was my independence, I could move around Vancouver almost as fast as traffic or faster when it was busy, In the middle of the night I was a ghost, bike just ticking away beneath me almost silent through the night. I loved the fog, a warm Indian sweater good gloves jeans with hiking boots, and a tuque on my head,
