Ted,
My wife and I do a lot of bike touring in the off season of bird hunting, sometimes 500-1000 miles a summer. I noticed that you have what looks to be a Brooks English saddle. Those seats make almost any bike feel like the best, very comfortable after they conform to you bottom!
Vintage steel bikes hold a special place of respect in my heart, and I see a good number of them on the tours. Mine is an 80's vintage chrome Schwinn that I have ridden 26,000 miles on so far, and wouldn't give it up for anything more modern. Biking is a great way to keep the legs in shape for bird season.
