Bikes: 1995 Trek 520 is the current primary bike.

Did a thrift shop loop on the way home from work Friday. Wound up with a nice little Schwinn and an older Columbia 5 speed. I paid a little more for the Columbia but I've been looking for a "saturday morning breakfast bike" to go with my wife's Bridgestone.

I'll get around to figuring out actual ages later this week. The Schwinn probably just needs a minor tuneup and maybe tires, the Columbia probably needs a total tear down and regrease at a minimum but the paint and condition looks nice on it. Needs tires on the Columbia too and I'll have/want to find some old metal fenders to put on it eventually.

Here's a couple of pics:




Freight train sized headlight that looks like it will still be functional:
