"Super Metallic Bronze" as as close to brown as I can get at the moment. I'm sure some may be tired of seeing this bike, but I'm not!

At this point, technically a project, rather than a bike - and not exactly high on the food chain, but... it is a pretty March color (and yes, slightly tweaked, but the consensus is safe). picked up a couple years back from randyjawa.

I don't want to hijack this wonderful thread any further, so I'll entertain any further conversation in e-mail, PMs or another thread.

I was going to hold out for champagne bike month, but since tomorrow is my wedding anniversary I guess now is as good a time as any.

It's a beautiful place to ride in the summer, though. Dense cities mean that the countryside is usually just a few minutes' ride from the centers, and even smaller towns are full of practical cyclists, even in the winter.

I've got a gold 1984 Trek 520 and a gold Motobecane CV-6, but the google photo files are a PITA.

Wow, it’s March again. Funny how that happens. Post new or old pictures of your brown or gold bikes or your brown and good bikes.
