Thanks all for the nice greetings. I totally agree Leukybear. My Schwinn from the 90's looks every bit as good as the Motobecane. The Motobecane is a beautiful bike for long rides and hills while I love the Schwinn for the city. Something about the feel of it going down Milwaukee Ave or the Lakefront Trail. And StanSeven, I used to ride down to the teens but that was in a much younger form of myself. I much prefer the mid nineties! The Motobecane was a great deal. I bought it after I attempted the Three State Three Mountain challenge down in Chatanooga. I died on my Schwinn. The next year I did the Michigan Mountain Mayhem Century on the Motobecane with good success.
