Ok. Here are a few. I've posted all of these before:

Nishiki Modulus SRT:


Cannondale SR300: I sold this one last winter.


Panasonic Sport Deluxe: I just finished rebuilding it. I think I might keep this one as it fits me well. And I like it's shiny chrome wheels!


The rest of the herd is modern stuff. I don't suppose anyone would be interested in seeing the stuff from the "Dark Side of the Force."

I just thought it would be cool to see it all in one place. And yeah if it's modern, I like hearing that you have it, but for the sake of staying in the Classics and Vintage forum...

I am just happy that someone who came to look at a frame yesterday (didn't buy the frame) but he did pretty much clean out the rest of the garage. A total of seven bikes, that all needed a little or a lot of work done to them, have moved on to another flipper. I made a little money, he will spend a good chunk of time and make a lot more money. Everyone is happy.

Only about 22 more -- not counting the other 20 or so in the attic.

The ones that are the keepers are:

Bridgestone X0-2 (only one that I bought new, way back in '93)
Schwinn Sierra Mountain Bike
Miyata 610 - early model with center pulls
Kuwahara mountain bike (forget the model but it has triple butted chromoly EX tubing)
Miyata Commuter 3 (unless a local CL shopper thinks it is worth $300 -- which is what I decided it would take for me to part with it)

Soon to be sold:
Schwinn Breeze 3 speed
Univega Activa Action hybrid
Schwinn Hurricane mountain bike
Nishiki Sport Mixte
Bridgestone 300 Mixte
Fuji Royale road bike

Those are the ones I can remember.

Robbie,

Ironic that you should post that Schwinn Heavy Duti. We had a fleet of somthing similar to those at work until a couple of years ago when one of the guys did and endo. All of them went away shortly there after.

Well, almost all, except for one that someone spray painted all flat black and turned up out behind some old equipment this week in the back of the complex. The property pass is waiting for me at work, so it comes home with me in the morning.

The Engineering manager thinks I'm nuts, and the third shift production supervisor wants to make it a shift project bike. The plant manager nixed that idea, didn't want his Production Sup and Lab Sup tied up in the mainteneace shop for hours on end. If he only knew.............

Darn, I told that dude to hide it better! Last time I trust a UT guy....

I made an offer of $30 on one of those Schwinns yesterday, rust bucket, but I have that vision thing going....
She said she'd been offered $150, but wants $200. I told her to take it and run, and we chatted....

She just left a voice mail for me, tonight, $50. I'll let her think for a couple of days...... sorry to get off thread.

I think we need to raid fender1. Those bikes are bleach clean. Top notch.

Here's the haul from last weekend. Don't usually pile them up like that but I had to haul these about 35 miles and this was the third and last trip I was making.




There's another 25-30 in the shop and 6 on the porch and I'm not even going to bring up how many is in the barn.

This is my bike



Love this one but it's the wrong size and a forum member and I have planned a trade that will happen soon



Threw this together for my dad, he likes it



The specialized is up for sale, I won't insult the other nice bikes in this thread by posting a picture of it.

From oldest to newest, mods as noted, a few are Bitsas (bit of this, bit of that):

1950(?) Raleigh Sports, one of a matched pair (my wife has the other) bought from the original owners in 1987.
1962(?) Schwinn Speedster. RM-25s on Bendix 76 R, Atom alloy F.
1973 Raleigh Pro Track. Pretty sure it didn't come with the tied and soldered Nisis.
1974 Raleigh International. Bitsa bike. I do have the right coded rear derailleur.
1975(?) Viscount. FG winter bike since 1990. Another Bitsa.
1986(?) Vitus. Total Bitsa.
1987 Schwinn Cimarron. 20+ years of hard use. Matrix Singletracks on Dura-Ace 8S hubs since 1989, works great with D-XT 7S thumbshifters.
1990 Davidson Stiletto. Bitsa.
1993 Davidson Track. Record 151 crank, SL pedals, Fiamme Speedy rims on C-Record hubs, SR Pista threadless (really) headset.
1996 Schwinn Homegrown Full Suspension. Built with D-XT of mixed vintage 1987-1995, Judy DH, either Mavic 261s on Campy Tipo hubs or Mavic 217s on Deore LX hubs.

I try to keep it to ten bikes that I can ride and that I want to ride.
