I'll likely post pics of the Yeti on PL or Mtbr.
The BMC on the gravel sub or PL.
About ready to shut down the Flickr though....
My stuff is for sale coast to coast and not by yours truly.

Mostly campy NR, I think the frame is '74-'75. Haven't decided on a saddle yet.

It's going to be an anti-panto-nago I think, to help it stand out!

I got a regular Huffy Thunder BMX for Christmas '82. How it survived my childhood is anyone's guess.
Winter project #1 is a tear-down and clean up of my '80 Raleigh Super Course.

I love the green with the pale yellow. I like this color better than the red. I have two projects this year but I won't be finished with them before winter is over: a 1983 Trek 720 and a 1978 Trek TX900.

Thanks, the yellow bar tape looks better in real life than in the pic. Thinking about yellow toe straps?

I think yellow toe straps would be overkill. Binda straps would be perfect or any pale leather.

I have black binda straps on it now.

Pretty bike, very nice addition to your inventory. Will fit right in.
I've finished my winter projects, now I need mileage.
Still have one waiting for the painter, for a BF friend.
1987 'Vice Ironman, frame-up.
1987 Ironman Master, frame-up.
2013 Felt AR3, frame-up. (Flipper)

Beautiful bike btw.
FWIW There was a 1973 Super at our swap today.

As for my Black Mountain Monstercross, the robots are busy doing their thing.
I've collected all the bits, now I just need the frameset.

Picked this up a few weeks ago. I've replaced the bb with a sealed unit and have been riding it trying to decide if I want to upgrade to the sand canyon 27X1 3/8 tires or just get paselas.
Next up I'm going to replace the brakes with slightly better single pivots and maybe adjust the freewheel gearing. My regular road bike is a 9 speed, 650b disc bike so this is a really nice change. I'm thinking I'll keep it stock and just enjoy it for what it is

First I've got a 1988 Schwinn Cimarron that's mostly done, just needs tape and front brake installed. (Might look for a different front rack, too.)
Just this weekend I picked up two more: In a package deal I got a 1985 Trek 300 and a 1987 Cannondale ST600. The Trek will be overhauled and sold in the spring, but I am in love with this Cannondale. It is in excellent shape and has all the original components, down to the pedals. It is in the nicest shape of any bike that I have found so far. I've been wanting to try an ST for a while, so I'm really excited to get this one ready for some long rides when the snow melts.
I know the pictures are pretty terrible, but it's winter in Wisconsin and it was raining all day. Lots more pictures of the Cannondale and the Cimarron will be coming when they are done, in the appropriate threads...

Some Campy 10 speed bits Will use an older cinelli xe stem and noodle bars, the Serotta stem doesn't work for me:
