This is a fun and comfortable old road bike ready to hit the streets again. My guess is that this is a '70s model and not too high-end. I have rebuilt it from the frame up with new paint and a mix of vintage and modern parts imto something that looks sharp but not too stealable (I hope). Drivetrain is an internally-geared 8-speed hub (Shimano nexus) with a good enough range to tackle some hills. If you're ambitious, there's enough slack in the system to swap up to the big chain ring and get a taller selection of gears - you'll just need to turn the lock washers around.

If you're interested, I can meet in the Berkeley hills or near the UC Campus. Cash or Venmo. Make me an offer! Worst I can do is say no.

A few parts of interest:

Weinmann centerpull brakes front & back
Shimano Nexus 8 speed IGH
700×35 Continental Sport Contact tires
