It started out innocently with a 90's Trek 820 mtb ($85), but then I picked up an 84 Trek 610 ($80), a couple 70's Schwinns (free), a 70's Bickerton Portable folding bike in great shape ($50), and another '61 Schwinn Traveler (free), which I couldn't believe the owner thought was junk. He only listed it in CL because he thought the generator might be wanted!
Coolest rear rack ever! Everything is there and works, including the little bell! It just has a nice layer of rust over it. And the fenders are solid, better than anything I've seen before. I already lubed/painted one of the 70's schwinns and gave it to a friend, and I just finished the other one. It needs a little sanding since I painted in my dark garage and oversprayed, but it's ok, and rides nice too. Kinda small for me though, come to think of it, anyone want it?

P.s. I also have an 81 and 82 vw rabbit, an 82 toyota flatbed pickup, and a 84 honda nighthawk (not running). I can't wait to pick up a mercedes fintail and restore it, swap in a modern tdi and that would be so sweet!
