I’ve always wanted a 2CV to carry eggs home from a farm. (Oddly specific reference a few of you may get)

Make sure to go through the plowed field

Showoff. :) Bike Snob has one; he calls it his "Eye of the Tiger" bike. I express my envy pretty much every time he shows it.
My dude, if I could find one of those in my size (17"-18")... :love: A reasonable tt length on 26" wheels is my dream; you can find it new, but only for $3,000+. Meanwhile, I can admire others'. :thumb:

He has four or five of these now. :wtf:

We rode over to Recycled Cycles, and I just looked up the whole time:

Did not know where else to put this. Parking with saddle covers built in.

If that was my size... that looks like the crusty one that went through Bike Works

Oh yes!

Those old Cannondale Super Vs look really weird from the wrong angles.

H400, that's a hybrid.

That stem is compounding the oddness.

disclaimer: it's actually my wife's bike. She kept asking for the bars to be higher..... We settled on the stock stem with a Wald 8095 bar.

Wow! That’s is one tall stem or, as you said, the frame is skewing the proportions. FWIW - I think those frames are cool.

BRC RoadAce 505
 

Spotted today downtown near the UofW; BRC RoadAce. Nice that a hi-ten frame was graced with a rear derailleur hanger. The rear brake was an Altus, but the front was some POS steel replacement. The crank appears to bear a Maruishi Kangaroo logo.

Thanks Thumpy, I don't know why the browser I use posts pictures as links only sometimes. Corrected now.

Technically not “in the wild”, but I wasn’t inclined to give it it’s own thread. Spotted this Go Ped gas assist pod affixed to this clean looking DeBernardi while visiting the Petersen Automotive Museum over the weekend.

I wouldn’t recommend jumping into your local paceline with this thing on your bike.

Nishiki International by Shields
 

Shields up - Nishiki ahead! Spotted yesterday downtown. Glad that the rider decided to use a brake.

Spotted outside IKEA here in the always lovely Portland area.

Sorry for the NDS pic…

sometime before Christmas I took pics of this Hercules on a grocery run. While the bike is not something I would pull out my hair for, the condition is rather noteworthy. A weird time capsule, looks like many of such were bought and never used, it really looked like it didn't do a kilometer since the maiden voyage.
