Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

Sorry for the silver on white photo. Not the best, but was in a hurry. All in all, I was quite pleased at the result: a cheap, reliable, non-descript city bike.
This looks very clean. I really like projects that involve recycling old parts. I built up one of my 2 commuters from my parts bin and I enjoyed that as much as I did building up my road bike from new parts.
