Rode in my first Tweed Ride last weekend...

There were some really cool vintage/antique bikes there! Didn't take any pictures, myself, but I saw a restored 1923 Columbia with wooden rims, the requisite high-wheeler, lots of 3-speeds (unsurprising, they're quite common around Boston), and some other cool stuff, including a Swiss military bike that was designed in 1905 and made pretty much the same all the way up until 1993, with this particular one being built in the '60s. I think one of the coolest things, though, was the fact that my bike didn't look completely out of place when surrounded by antiques, when it's a build made up entirely of modern components. There's a picture of me and some friends (David325 pictured in the white cap) with my bike, another vintage-inspired modern build, and the Swiss bike, taken by its owner:
