Tom's Touring Bike

This bike is a Midlands Touring Bike custom built by Bilenky Cycle Works in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The fillet-brazed frame was built mostly with Reynolds 531 steel tubing featuring S&S Machine Bicycle Torque Couplings. The bicycle disassembles for travel. The components were selected mostly for ease of disassembly.

I have made a few changes and upgrades in the year and a half that I've owned the bike. The most important upgrade is a generator lighting system I purchased from Peter White Cycles.
