Schwinn Transit on Feb-06 tour in Texas, sitting on the Jack/Palo Pinto County lines and leaning against Hwy 281 sign. Note the USGS survey benchmark in the background. We were pointed into a 30 mph gusting to 45 mph wind this day. It took me 5 hours to make 40 miles. A very long day in the saddle.

97 Schwinn Transit hybrid (aka Capt. Marcy), modified with Brooks B-67 saddle, Shimano 14-34 cassette, Jannd racks, SPD Cannondale panniers all around. The stock 38 mm tires have been replaced with 700x32 Schwalbe Marathon. Usually equipped with a set of Gilles Berthoud fenders but they are off the bike at this time.
