Not much came my way this year. Three freebies...


One purchase, and I thought it might be the crown for 2025 but I was wrong...


For the price of a box of beer, this Redline gravel bike found its way into my little stable today. A gravel bike - looks like I might try riding again...





The bike is incredibly original, sporting all original issue components and in pretty good condition. I DO NOT need any more bikes, and plan to sell some next Spring, if the price comes back. One can only wonder what happened. I thought that the interest in vintage road bikes would continue to escalate. Boy was I wrong!

Anyway, the bike is in really nice condition with one oops...



But this stem has to go...


I gotta stop looking at Facebook Marketplace. Tooooo much temptation and Mrs. Me is getting a bit hard to deal with lately.
