Bikes: 1995 Trek 520 is the current primary bike.

Bridgestone Carmel, sort of a mixte

Picked this one up several years ago. Thought about flipping it but decided to keep it for my wife. I have no idea how old it is so any estimates on that would be appreciated. It is in excellent condition with only minor blemishes. Tires are due for replacement because of age, but I hate to do that since the ones on it are Bridgestone branded and look neat on this bike, but safety first so eventually I'll swap them out for something. I also plan to swap out the brake pads for something less squeaky on the rims. And this coming summer I'll probably give it an overhaul just to freshen up the grease on all of the bearings.

If I could find a comparable men's version of this then I'd be happy, but as it is I'll be using the old 1967 Schwinn I just posted when we go for a ride together. Her on this bike, and me on the crusty old Schwinn. Sort of a Lady and the hound dog thing (me being the cursty old hound dog ) .

Anyway, here's the pics of it taken when the days were warmer. I'm currently between jobs and decided to catch up on a few things around here.
