I guess this can go here now. Pretty much completed the build this weekend. Just a few minor details to deal with.

83/84? Ross Mt. Rainier. It's been a kid tower/grocery getter/camp and gravel rig by me for a dozen years or so. Thomas wants to to give it a refresh this spring, so he can claim it as his...

Managed to get a pic in the sunshine before the end of February of my Somec with its new shiny clincher wheels with pink lettering.

Man, this sux - my 'Like' button has disappeared once again.
Anyone know if we're limited to a particular number of 'likes' per day?
The last couple pink bikes are awesome - especially that Super Record-equipped Trek (that fork crown!)

Wow, now THAT is red! 
I guess the profusion of huge decals proclaiming CARBON FIBRE are so people don't think that is a steel frame?

Squeaking it in under the wire for this year: the "zero bike" that my parents are gracious enough to allow me to stash at their place so that I can ride when I visit:
Schwinn "Paramount" PDG. Lugged oversized steel. Mostly 7400. I do need to get some matching wheels/rims for it, so I apologize for that...
