Germany played a great game. So far I have been able to watch every gamel. I can't wait to see Spain play. I agree with the vuvuzelas, I was reading an article that after spending two hours in the sta ...

Yeah, I think those would look good too. I also probably will need to replace the handlebar tape. Is there a brand you would recomend? I know some of these vintage gitanes had cloth instead of tape.

Thanks for the advice. I'll ask them to remove it, yesterday for a sec. I thought that the wheels were made out of plastic. I can't wait to get home to take the wheels off and do some extra cleaning.

I browsed cyclemondo's store on ...

So I cleaned up the bike a little. As I was cleaning I found one minor issue. One of the spokes in the rear wheel is bent and a little loose; I don't think that should be hard to fix. The bike rides g ...
