I’ve had this bike since I started studying. Most of the time it’s been my only bike, but it also had a few relaxed years when I lived abroad.
It’s an old cross bike from the single year where UCI allowed disc brakes as an experiment. The following year, they went back to rim brakes – so to most folks it was an odd race bike with disc brakes 😀.
In general it’s close to original. Brake calipers were replaced last year, the wheel set is a few years old, the rear derailleur has been replaced a few times and the original 105 brifters wore out after 10 years.
Still rolling smooth and I plan to have it for the rest of my life!
