Will do! I am off to traipse around in the woods for most of the day, but will get a good photo up soon.

I still think a candy version of this over the chrome would be cool ...

Yeah I'm liking the idea of the candy version. The chrome didn't clean up well enough to leave it all chrome so it will be off to the powdercoater probably after the first of the year or early in the spring. Provided I have all the pieces I need to get it into riding condition before paint or powdercoat

Here you go...I have not had any good sunshine to really make it sparkle, though.

Oh Margaret! You've committed the mortal C&V sin! A picture of the non-drive side???? And all that nagging you do about "post pictures" or "if you post pictures" or "at C&V we always need pictures!"

East Hill, turn that bike around and quit teasing us! NOW! And BTW, what are those little spoons for between your brake levers and the handlebars?

Dang! I figured no one would catch me at it!






The 'spoons' are actually ribbons--a decoration for the bike .

Thank you all (blushes deep red). I like to think that it's the idea of riding my bicycle that makes me have that happy smile .

nice smile, nice bike

Actually, East Hill should be a poster child for Bike Forums with that pic. It personifies happiness with a bike with that winning smile. Not to mention the fact that she's the first one on the spot to welcome new members.


she gets my vote
