Road bikes ~ vintage

Hi! I love vintage road bikes with character. The smoother the ride the better. And the simpler the better - I love single speed.

I started with a lovely green 70's Fuji frame/mostly aftermarket a while back:

That bike fit me like a glove. I truly discovered the pleasure of riding thanks to it and began to brave both the dead of winter and the heavy, sticky summers of NYC on it. Handed it to a friend, then left the continent for two years but didn't get it back upon return, so...

I then got myself an 80's Shogun, which I quickly fell in love with but it came down to either just me returning to (my now home) South America or neither of us making it. -shakes fist at airline-

I'm now back in the southern hemisphere and looking for a new bike to call my own.

Hello Jmarie, glad to have you join us here at BF. Hope you can find a new bike that makes you feel as good as the others did. Check in to the Classic and Vintage and the Single Speed/Fixed Gear Forums, they should have a lot of members there with the same bicycling interests as you have.

Bill
