This is far and away my most favorite steed. It's a Miyata Three-10 frame I picked up from The Boulder Sports Recycler. I believe the frame, cranks, seat, and seat post are from the original 80's production model. Everything else has been hacked. I took off both brakes and replaced the front and rear wheels. To give it it's namesake I put on mustache handlebars. I never ride this thing without my clip-ins as coming off the pedals means you are in for a very bad ride. It's geared at 42/17, which seems just right for riding around the city. I top out at just under 20 MPH (which is a little faster than I want to go without breaks anyway).
