I'm in!
I've got a nice old Schwinn Tempo. My camera's busted, but I'll see if I can put some pics up later.

My completely rebuilt '80 Raleigh Reliant...fixed/single road bike. (yes, gonna pic-hoar here too ) Built it up for something a bit different/fun on the road. So far it's been awesome to ride. It's steel, so hopefully it's accepted alongside my Marathon into the club

I have an 87 schwinn le tour. Was cheap to pic up. True temper T1-4130. Got it powder coated and some new decals. I hated that it only had one bottle holder but tossed one of those bottle mounts on it. Work pretty good. Kinda a mid range bike but does just fine on B group rides. I think im the only one in the group with down tube shifters. Upgraded it to a 9 speed, carbon fork, 700c wheelset. Pics to come.

How did I miss this?
Kalavinka lugs, Kasei tubes, Campy bits and pieces.
edit: I'll post bigger pictures when I get home - the internet at this coffee place is terrible.

I'm wondering whether to hang all my spare parts off it and re-sell it or make it a keeper.

In! Up until last week, all I ever owned was steel. Here's my main ride, 1985 Panasonic Team in night blue, 53cm, Tange Champion No. 2. I painted the fork to (sort of) match the frame, upgraded to Shimano 600 cranks and RD, rx100 FD, rebuilt the original Araya 20a rims (black anodized!) with black DT swiss competition spokes and black nipples, maillard 6spd rear hub, shimano front hub. freewheel is shimano 14-28, chainrings 39-52. Nitto 90mm stem, Deda 215 anatomic bars, fizik tape, Blaze calipers, Shimano 105 SLR brakes, Selle Italia flite saddle, shimano pd-r540 pedals, original fluted 26.8 seatpost, original z-??? shifters (I had mounted Shimano 600 top mounts but they were skipping all over the place, see sheldonbrown.com for details, currently running hutchinson equinox tires with red stripe, looking to upgrade seatpost, tires, fork.

Thanks, Mike.
Thanks, Mike.
nice! I've actually handled this frame. Curious about the year of manufacture and any other details you can provide. Info very scarce on this frame for some reason. cheers
