A buddy of mine rode a Crescent. I rode a Motobecane, and a guy down the hall in the dorm rode a Nishiki, which was the best bike of the lot. The bike brands were quite multicultural, and no doubt the Japanese had a distinct technological edge at the time. I upgraded my Motobecane Mirage by scrapping the Simplex stem shifters and the steel chain guard, adding alloy rims and getting rid of the Suicide Brake Levers.<br />OK, so it was still a piece of crap, and it met an inglorious end after a Senior Citizen backed into me while I was on my way to class.<br />Had I seen those ads, I definitely would have considered buying a Crescent.MT cyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451590809473759574noreply@blogger.com
