Latest Builds! Schwinn, Lotus, Trek (pic heavy)
Here is a Lotus Legend (not sure of the year) with mainly Shimano 600 ex bits. I received the frame in a trade with a wonderful BF member. It now has different chainrings and some pedals. I am also going to put a different saddle on, but I am not sure what to go with.
An 87 Schwinn Super Sport. I won this frame on ebay and later found out it was a forum member. I got it pretty cheap (probably because of the bad fluorescent yellow black splatter paint job.) I had it finished orange and put a full Shimano Sante group (minus the headset which is 600ex.) The group came off of a Schwinn circuit that I got locally that was too big for me.
An 87 Trek 1000. I picked this up off my local CL. It had been turned into a commuter with a weird mis match of parts. I re-built it up with all 600ex stuff minus the ax levers (free from a forum member and headset.)
There have been several forum members that have hooked me up with parts here and there to finish my builds. I just wanted to give a big thanks.
