Just posted my smurfette on the forums, and am so proud, here she is again.
42-18. schwinn le tour that I haven't even look up the serial # for b/c it is japan made, and clean enough for me not to care. Front brake is schwinn approved, which is good enough for me. Sweet blue michelins, suzue rear hub, on a mavic ma3 rim. Front wheel is from a found in the trash bike that I rode hard for 3 years now, 105 hub I just overhauled, on a wolber super champion rim. when the lbs guys said I could service the 105 hub and the wolber rim was a toughie, I was cool with it. It is still true after 3 years of ball bustin' haulin my 240 lbs a$$ around. Got the frame on ebay, seems schwinn's are some of the only 63C-C frames, cuz I need a hugie. and it was cheap. mostly orig parts, spd pedals, 175 rsx crank from crap bin for $15, Terry saddle b/c noone carries anything else around here. Shweet Shweet Shatisfaction! |

first post, first fixed.
my late '60s Carlton Catilina, converted chrome touring frame. It used to have a patchy translucent orange factory paintjob, which i've almost completely stripped. just added the nitto dynamic stem and no-name drop bars. next step: shorter fork (a vintage chrome murray) and new wheelset. shouts to everyone in chitown. |

I've previously posted my Fixie and just came in from an outing on my old single-speed. It's a 24 inch Hiawatha with 26 inch wheels. It will go anywhere. I had to shim the front fork with brass so the front tire doesn't rub. It's really a beautiful steel ride. It was painted by someone long ago and I'm thinking of painting it this winter. Any suggestions for a color?

Yup. There's going to be a good BF crowd at critical mass next Friday if you can make it.
