I rode the Bomber in again today. It's a early 90s Specialized Hardrock that I bought it this spring at a garage sale for $40. I got it mostly for pulling my kids' trailer but I've been commuting on it about half the time and I'm really enjoying it. I added a rack, bar ends, and put on a comfy old-style Avocet saddle. These all came out of the spare parts bin. So I'm still at a net $40 for the whole thing.

And the thing is a kick to ride. Plus, it is so incredibly ugly (gray with aqua decals and plenty of surface rust), that I have no fear of locking it up on the street.

It's the best $40 I've spent in a long time.
