Just finished my recent Trek 620 ebay pickup Friday. Sure wish it was my size, but its not even close (24 inch versus I ride a 21 inch).

Next up is the '93 Peugeot PE-300 I have been putting off for a while. Bike is complete, paint is good, but frame has a fair amount of internal rust. So I need to give it the old oxalic bath. If it turns out nice, it could be a keeper. We'll see.

2nd in line is the old 73/74 UJ Peugeot I have been putting off for about 20 years. Needs a vintage RD and shift levers, otherwise, all of the parts should be there.

3rd up is a little cleanup on an 88 Schwinn Tempo.

4th up is the Marin BMX that was given to me. Will be my first wheel build.

At that point, I will be done with all of my projects (until I find another bike to work on....). Well, I guess I could put that old Giant Iguana back together. It has been relegated to donor status. Could be my first rattle can.

Well, my plans got totally changed.

Ended up squeezing in a Trek 412.

Then added a Schwinn World Sport.

Next I will get back to the list (the Peugeot).
