LOL...Well, since it's getting to the point that there is more darkness than light, rain 80% of the time until June... and that it's only been four months since I was run over by a 14,000 # GW truck...I'll have to be a tad freddy.

You gonna eat that?
You've got no eye for a classic. That bike is worth two of any of the other bikes here (weight-wise, anyway).

the tires are bontrager race x lites. only half of it is orange, the right half... when i bought them the orange was much much brighter, bordering on yellow.
the tape in the pic is deda tape, it's a very deep rich orange color, however bontrager makes an orange tape that's like their tires, very very bright. after a while it all turns grey anyway.
thus far, bontrager has had the most interesting tape colors i've found, some of my favorites are a very subtle apple green color. watered down if you will. and a very light blue.
below is a pic of the bontrager tape i had before many upgrades including wheels, and the pic below it is the same bontrager green tape I mentioned on a bike I had built up earlier this year before i sold the group.

(The bike has been townie-fied and is now my grocery getter and backup commuter. Is that hot or what?)

Schwinn prelude looks good. Not flashy but clean and simple.
I got bored and it was a nice photo op. Plan to look for a black 105 crank and then start swapping my other components for black ones (Not sure on model yet but nothing less than 105)
