Reese Witherspoon.

A part of me wouldn't mind if that was the correct answer...






but it isn't.

You've won the chance to guess again. :D

Your head up your own arse? That rules out the pretty.

That was my first guess after seeing that crazy-colored Look someone recently posted.

It also looks as if someone rear-ended it, right?

Not a Look


Your head up your own arse? That rules out the pretty.

The colonoscopy I had in January came back with good pictures and no problems - which I considered pretty. :thumb:

The Hetchins is last month's news. I'm still truing the wheels and need to wrap the handlebars on it.


Gazelle in red white blue color scheme?

It's not red white and blue.

You're on the path.

Raleigh? Did you say Raleigh? Raleigh made a lot of different models. I did say three colors didn't I? :D

CV-6, You're not allowed to "guess" here. Neither is Dr.Deltron.

Reese Witherspoon is not British. Does that mean that you'll be sending her frame to my house? I need to prepare Patti for the houseguest...

Not British? She pretends rather well though, so no. If her frame does show up, it won't be getting passed on. You're safe.

Team Raleigh.

This is what happens when you start answering questions. Someone eventually gets the right answer. :thumb:

Congrats JYB. :)

Yes. I know you want pictures, but I want to at least get the headset on and install the fork before I do that.

Just edited my post. I thought the Team Raleighs were early 80s.
