Current setup for this Diamondback Sorrento from around 1994, after I moved most of the parts to a new bike primarily intended for fitness.

Edit: just recently went out to meet a job order some 16km away, which included a heavy toolbox some 20kg. Ride did well, but took note that I better replace the rear rack and the pedals.

Idk. It looks a bit flash I think.

it's a lot less conspicuous compared to other bikes I've seen, including overly colorful cheap sub-US$200 bikes. My goal with this build is to have a reliable ride that doesn't have to be costly, and of course, less attractive to thieves.

edit: This is my weekender, for the sake of disclosure:

Arh. That's all that counts then.
