GREEN With Envy...
4 Attachment(s)
OK, I had started an ORANGE posting (only realizing it was the SECOND Orange posting later on)...so here's a Green One. This is one of my two Schwinn Sports Tourers. 100% original except for tires and tubes. I think I've ridden it twice over the years, as it's just part of my Collection.

Here's the green ones that have passed through my garage,

ca 1947 Raleigh Lenton Sports. I would really like to refinish it but am balking at the idea of losing the marking. Faint as they are. It is apart now.

I have a few.
My 86 Miyata. It now sports Fat Franks, a Blackburn on the front and rear and the Cambium for the time being. Oh yeah, Ortliebs and a BOB trailer as well.

Sheesh GMG, DROOL.

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=411705 http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=411706 Here's my latest green bike - NOT finished yet, but pink bar tape has already gone! Saracen Tange OS MTB frame being converted to drop-bar tourer with front & rear racks & panniers, bar bag, 3X7 Deore with Suntour(?) handlebar shifters. Not quite ready for the rough (er) stuff yet. Plan to use this for camping tours. |

Long gone, but it sure was green.
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=411717 Love those early 70s SuperCourses. Auchen, if I'm ever in Detroit I wanna borrow that '72. Mine was a tad too big but still cool. |
