this is a ways out of town from me, but interesting nonetheless.


1973 Ernie Clements Olympic Falcon

i have a soft spot for early '70s falcons, and it's only $100. if it had a campy nr rd and the frame were in that sparkling blue color of theirs, i'd figure a way to get over there.

So, a top tube protector on a bike where the bars are set where they can't slam the TT anyway?

Yeah, if it had been my size I would have asked him for some photos of the top tube just to make sure nothing is amiss.

I'd also ask to meet in a public place, those katanas strewn about are setting off alarm bells

It's probably for leaning the bike against the rack at the pub.

Not at all original but seems like a nice build
Bottecchia De Luxe single speed or fixed

Also this one is maybe a little new for most of you, but looking at it is killing me I want it so bad, someone please buy it so I can stop looking at it.

Next week it will be a "Custome Fixie" listed at $700


It appears all those offers fell through. The price is falling on that Prelude.

What's its worst part? I'm tempted to say the gold bling cranks, but then I look to that adjustable Zoom stem and shudder.
