In the '90s that was a great design for an all around road bike since there were no 29ers or 650b wheels. It's still a very fine design today for a road bike for all around riding. It's fun riding a road bike with fat tires at low pressure (26 x 1.75 paselas at 50 psi).

It's fall in the desert! Woooooooo!
...Or winter. Or summer. Unless it's thermal imaging you won't see much difference.

I spent a few years in Yuma, many years ago. While it did have some irrigation, permitting crops to be grown, the surrounding desert was pretty much barren of anything alive. It worked out okay, because most of it was used as a place for the military to drop bombs.

My 1985 Schwinn Voyageur in front of the Old Scituate Lighthouse on Cedar Point in Scituate, MA. It could have passed for a July day today.

Some nice color coming in to the ravines along the North Shore. It's been a warm, dry fall in Chicago, and the color has been slow to appear (not complaining).

Still trying to find a nice scenic calendar shot like you guys. Not easy in LA. This is the best I could come up with today. I'll keep working on it.

From the other angle, it's more colorful but without the intimate feel of the first shot.
Sunday morning fall rides are simply the best.

Thanks for all the Super Course love. I had to replace the rear Campy hub (cracked flange). The ebay replacement needed cleaning and polish. When I finished that, the front hub looked dingy, so I did it too. It looks better all shined up. I saw another Raleigh, a 70's Grand Sport, white and tourquois, for $150 at Atomic Cycles in Van Nuys, CA. Frame was too big, so I walked away. It is dirty, but pretty much complete, with 1 piece aluminum crank, too. Could be nice for somebody. Keep the pretty pictures coming.
