This Thing Is Better Than It Looks

I know I said I'm commuting on the Bianchi; this thing
is actually taking its place. After 4 tries, I finally found a bike that those mustache bars actually feel right on. Geared for climbing Bush St in the late afternoon when my legs are flat. Fenders. No bar tape -- doesn't seem to need it. Has a lovely 'Property of City and County of San Francisco' sticker on the left chainstay...

The frame was from craigslist, and had an egg-shaped French thread bottom bracket, so I took it and 2 six packs of steam beer to Tom and reamed it and rethreaded to Italian...works fine. So I put the Bianchi in the shed for now...
