Schwinn something or other I'm thinking? Just a great looking bike and I'd like to see more pics of it - SS/Fixed? etc.

I'm most impressed by the fact that it seems to be entirely free-standing. It's not touching the wall, and there's nothing holding it up, and it's not propped up on anything...
I also like how he took an old "Xtra Lite" (hi-ten steel) sticker off a bike boom anchor and threw it on the downtube.
Even though that bike was made in 2007.
Because that makes sense.

I have a bar Identity crisis just about every month. so far Ive run nitto track drops 2 kinds of bullhorns shallow track drops from eighth inch, no name brand wing shaped cruiser type bars, origin 8 tiki bars, and currently running porter type bars that I believe came off a LINUS. if anyone wants to trade me some nice risers for my tiki bars I still have them.

That's funny, I've had the same bar setup on my fixiefix for about a year and a half.

Im never totally satisfied with my bar setup. bull hors stretched me out too far. drops made it hard for me to see in even light traffic, moustache bars felt way too wide. Im hoping the bar end riser combo has some of the bemnifits of the ones I liked best.
