I snagged this early 1990s Miele Lupa (shewolf) from the original owner for a nice price on the weekend. Miele was a Canadian company. It’s got a Columbus Cromor frame, all original 105 groupo, and Ambrosia (made in Italy) rims, and an Italian suede saddle. I cleaned it up, polished some minor rust spots off the forks with wet alu foil, and the shewolf is shining. Needs a new rear brake cable but that’s about it. I may put a threadless stem adapter on it and more modern bars but otherwise keeping it original. I can’t stop looking at her 🙂

Oh, and it came with 2 sets of tires (one brand new set of retro Celeste striped Michelins), but I put a set of 28mm Goodyears on it for a little more cush. I will also get some touchup paint from a body shop to take care of some paint chips.
