  • 1984 Giant Excursion swap stem out for the new extra tall Nitto Technomic from Velo-Orange
I also have about 7-8 other project bikes sitting around waiting on parts and me to make the decision on how to build them up. I also have some bits and pieces coming for my Redline R530 that will need to be plopped on. As well as contemplating and designing a new bike work shop Project to keep me in business thru the winter of 2012 at least.

UPDATE:

My sister has requested an "upright" bicycle, so the list just got shoved around and the 1974 Raleigh Sports in the step through frame, that wasn't even on the list has just gotten moved to the front of the list. IIRC her other bike which apparently is no longer comfortable for her to ride is either a Moby or Peugot Mixte from the late 70's early 80's. That one will get a going over and probably hit Craig's List in time for the spring rush.
