Restored by G.V.C. Spalding Blade Te. Converted from a drop bar road bike to an agile city bike, complete with all practical amenities. Fenders to keep grime off your clothes, rear rack to carry your stuff, riser bars with plenty of sweep, water bottle holder with bottle. Rides, shifts and brakes perfectly. Some minor aesthetic wear but overall looks near-new. Lugged steel frame. Shimano components. 12-speed. 27-inch wheels. Tan bar wrap with wine cork ends and twine detail. Frame size is 54c. Stand-over height is 31". Suitable for a cyclist in the 5'9"-5'10" realm, likely, but a test-ride should confirm. (Special thanks to Hillary for helping demolish the two bottles of wine for the cork ends)
