Is this hoarding?<\/p>\n<p>Well, first of all, it might be hoarding, but I prefer to think that I just got another bike that I can learn some fixin&#8217; skills on. It fits me well, and it has more tire clearance than the Novara, making it a better candidate for winter riding. I also prefer how it has the shifters on the stem, instead of the downtube. (Less dangerous to keep balance when shifting) It&#8217;s not as light as the 23lb Novara. I haven&#8217;t weighed it, but it feels about 25lbs. I think it would be a good candidate for me to learn how to install modern brake levers and bar tape on. If I decide I don&#8217;t like it, I can probably turn it around for double what I paid. And that feels good!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/2013\/01\/i-um-bought-a-new-bike\/cimg3881\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-228\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-228\" alt=\"CIMG3881\" src=\"http:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3881-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3881-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3881-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3881-233x175.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/2013\/01\/i-um-bought-a-new-bike\/cimg3888\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-229\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-229\" alt=\"CIMG3888\" src=\"http:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3888-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3888-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3888-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.naomida.com\/play\/stuff\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/CIMG3888-233x175.jpg 233w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I couldn&#8217;t resist this $65 find on Craigslist: A 53cm 1980s steel lugged Nishiki Custom Sport, hardly ever ridden.
