Bicycle Repair Man !!!
I am running a studded front tyre on my Extrabike right now... it was already a very stable bike on snow and ice and then it got front wheel drive.
I don't know if I will need to put the studded tyre on the back at all this winter...
My dedicated winter bike has studded tyres on the front and rear.

Just finished rebuilding this bike, took it out for a test ride, and came across this unique photo opportunity by chance.

I may soon be back in the (road) saddle again!
I picked up an unknown year Bianchi Premio fixer upper. A bit small, but might work...

Elkhide Toe Clip Leathers from Velo-orange.. Last night I sat up until 1:30 a.m. sewing these leather covers onto four sets of toe clips. Cool look. Starts out a little slow, but the directions are very well done and once I got the hang of it, it went pretty good. Still took me almost four hours to do the eight toe clips.
Ouch my fingers hurt.
I live a sheltered life, as I hadn't sewn anything since repairing flats on the sew-ups on my 1972 Gitane Tour DeFrance.. When it was new...
These are for my 1972 and 1973 Paramounts, my 1981 Super LeTour and my 1972 Sports Tourer

Me, too - but I'm still bringing the '78 Super for him to test-ride
WNG: I think we should meet up at your current place post-ride and grill up some steaks and drink some beer!

^KvltBryce, your Look pedals sure look nice on the Bianchi. 
^DD, I don't think the landlord would mind!
I think steak is a post-ride requirement written somewhere.
I have a feeling I'm going to have Colnago fever after the test ride! And have to get one like Giacomo1.

Yes she was. I mourn the loss of my Crosscut. It was one of those special rides with a personal touch. I hope the Bianchi will work. I have 6 weeks till my 49 miles at 49 y.o. Planning to do it on a road bike.

Will, what date is that exactly? I'm pretty sure I'll be in town for that if I've got my figures correct - and I'd love to join you for that celebration ride.

Jan. 27th...it's a Sunday. If we can turn it into a group ride, it would be the best BD ever.

Bummer...
Oh, well - we're in the process of getting a group ride or two together, so that's still cool; just unfortunate I won't be able to ride with you on the special day

Dang, Will! Too bad you weren't born on Jan 8th, like a certain Tucsonan *cough* then we could have a double-birthday group ride 
We do need to pin down a date and meeting location though, so I can finish up the BF C&V AZ flyers! (and post the thread)
