Here's my baby:

 

A Hansom from early eighties (i would guess).

Powdercoated then rebuilt by me.

Had the decals made (thanks Tyrone).

Biopace in front - i think they are easier on the knees! Brooks saddle is super comfy.

Found the Nitto stem and bars in a store nearby.

Wheels built by Johan Bornman

Gatorskins are 28c back and 25c front.

 

Not a traditional restoration, but I love her as she is.

This is the only road bike I ride.

Just built a cyclocross for those rainy, singetrack and gravel road days.

 

Cheers,
