nothing quite so special. The Giant is a hi-ten Ladies road bike and the Peugeot is Purple, lower end mens frame. Both are probably around 1980. Not really terribly interesting, not really even worth taking a picture...but they're in ok condition and would need minimal work to be rideable. Too bad I didn't have these for the Swap last weekend, would have been a quick 50 bux just as-is.
Still worth it though...like my papa always told me, "free's for me!"

what a let down. I suggest you light something on fire and take a pic to liven things up a bit.

Sorry...I don't care anywhere near enough to let anonymous people on the internet know "there" garbage.

Steely Dan are one of my favorite bands and it would be tough to pick a favorite...I really like King of the World, I really dig Dr. Wu, I love Bhoddisovtha (sp?) and one of their newer tunes...Slang of Ages...makes my favorites as well. I also really love Bring Back the Boston Rag.

One of my favorite bands as well. I really like the whole Gaucho album, and I like tunes where Fagen is really smarmy and lecherous like 'Everyone's gone to the movies' and "Everything You Did" and of course "Gaucho"
I saw em play with Larry Carlton on guitar last summer and it blew my mind.

I even really dig Morph the Cat and Tracks of Whack...I just think they're brilliant song writers.

No one cares
it's kinda fun taking those steel rim beaters and stripping all the crap off and rebuilding it with lightweight middle of the range stuff. It's also nice to just be able to throw whatever on it and not worry about if its the "right" part or not.
Plus the UO8 i had a few years ago really did ride pretty well.
