I'm old, w/an 80s Fuji Del-Rey fg conversion. Color qued red/black. It's got front
and rear brakes. So, sue me. Recently it was tapped for a wb cage and a framepump. Got a seatpost rack/trunkbag combo for hauling stuff to and from work. SKS Raceblades!

My daily commute is 41 mi. rt. I like passing roadies in the morning who are too cool to give a wave or lift a finger. My commuting garb is mtb shorts w/rb tops and road shoes.
All totaled, including a sb/pc paint job I spent about 400.00 on this bike. It's by far my favorite and I'll will it to whichever of my grandchildren shows an interest.
Once on my way into work I had to drop a deuce in the weeds...I've carried a small, plastic garden spade and recyclable TP ever since. If any you ever come to visit I'll show you where it happened.
Obviously, I own a bike, but I like you guys, too.
