I'm not associated with this ad (http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/bik/972651657.html) but I like the bike. I'd run narrow tires though. It's an interesting take on doing something with an ordinary mountain bike. But where's the front brake?

Chris,

Good Eye! What an interesting and unusual bike. And the grips look like the ones on my Electrabike Amsterdam Classic 3.

Hubbard, I have this old Trek mountain bike that I've been trying to imagine with a Brooks and leather grips. Now i know it could be a worthwhile cause.

I saw the red Speedster you got. Is this the attic one? It looks like a show bike and I really like the chrome.

Go for it! I'm still trying to figure out how to get my Brooks B66 on that Schwinn Speedster, and yes, it was the attic find. That chrome cleaned up well, no scratches or dings. Hello, Richardson Bike Mart for a new post for the Schwinn.
