Only black bike I've photographed is a bit ho-hum - '89 Trek 800 Antelope. $25 on CL, had a 135-mm rear wheel with a 7-speed freewheel swapped in. Now has a wheelset with a 130-mm 6-speed rear from a late-'80s Nishiki Expedition that was free on CL. Shifting is bang-on. Swapped the saddle / post, rack is from the thrift shop ($5).


Oh wait - found one of the Rockadile. About a 1990. Rescued from the trash. All it really needed, besides the usual tune-up, was a set of tires. Fork needed some clean-up, but works. Wife re-wrapped the bar. Bike fits her perfectly.
