As [MENTION=28956]Niloc[/MENTION] mentions, classic bike from American Flyers, but FYI that bike had Suntour Sprint and not Dura Ace. Still I remember it fondly and it really rode beautifully. with teh same caveat on the red brakes I'll give it a Hot. But from a thread and rules perspective the staging really sucks because all you see here is the frame. The bars, seatpost, saddle, etc. get lost in the shrubbery background. What would make this bike really work would be to see it against a nice neutral background. Sometimes a bike brings out a nice nostalgic feeling in me, and this is one of those.

Interesting that this sink is actually on an RV / bus.

For a frame that certainly doesn't need another logo, which I generally hate, I really like the way this one looks. I think it is a hot bike. One thing I would change though would be to add some color on the bar/stem area. it is just way too black. I'd change it to blue or orange, to match the other colors on the frame.

Thanks guys. Yes, it's true... it does look like a floating billboard.
