been looking for accessories to add to my 86 schwinn sierra.....I found a cyclepro frame pouch today and have an under seat bag ( not vintage).....what kind of stuff would be good ( tasteful) additions to my bike?? grips and seat have also been changed.... have platforms now, so maybe some beartrap pedals?

Re:

yes, just wanting to keep the vintage vibe with the bike.... really thinking about the beartrap pedals though
 
Re:

certainly can't go wrong in keeping with period correct components, if they are in good and proper functioning condition!
 
Re:

the original brake levers were shot but had a pair off of an 88 miyata city runner that were good... the rear wheel is not original as it has a 7 speed freewheel instead of a 5....works great after some adjustment, so I'll leave it...the handlebars are some I bought off amazon that were not what I wanted for another project, so I used them here( aluminum ) new WTB grips, some almost new alloy cage pedals I had around are on there now, new tires( nothing special, got a really good deal on them) someone put a sealed BB in it at some point.....seat was roached, threw on a faux brooks wanna be saddle on there,... everything else is original

Hite-Rite, Rock Ring, Avocet 20 computer, purple ano

Purple ano??!! NO!!!! :shock:

A Hite-Rite would look neat though.
Maybe a frame mounted pump too.
 
Re:

just got one the other day and put on an under seat bag I already had
