I already have that, Gary! And more horsepower, even less horse would be impossible for me!
With all you guys talking about HR's and HR monitors, how about that fancy Garmin GPS/Monitor??

I want to subtract 20 years. And if Gary's cycle-lass has a sister (even an aunt), that'd be fine, too. And a peaceful Xmas for Berts, and Dnvr ride a century, PastorBob and his wife have another child (!), SeaFoam's knee come back stronger than ever by Saturday, Stapfam start his own winery, DeeGee finally find (and buy) the Ultimate Bike, etc. etc.

Long cycling pants. I've already bookmarked J-G to forward, when asked for my list. I'll probably think of some other winter riding gear.

3. An Extreme Makeover for my '71 Varsity.

Some of those new Campy skeleton brakes. My almost 20 year old Shimano 105s still work just fine but a little bling would be nice.

My hope is to spend less than $20 (cables and bearings if needed). I have just about everything I need, including a brand new set of tires and tubes I found this week. Pictured below is the "before" shot, taken just after I brought it home from the dump this past March. I will start the week after Christmas (I stay pretty busy until then ).
).Got'cha. You're talking about New Design on a Dime.
BTW, my first "ten speed" was a Varsity and I rode that thing to death. I then made the jump to the Continential and felt I was quite a hot shot. Later moved to the LeMan's, eventually to a Paramount. I've always had a soft spot for Schwinns.

Hoping for a couple of cases of Floyd Landis Beer and maybe some new wheels.
