I've finished two new builds recently.  Both have been in the queue for 
quite a while, and I think I've referred to both of them pretty extensively 
so these aren't totally new to regulars and  those of you who watch my 
photostream.  First is the Double Speed

I'd been kind of sort of waiting for a Quickbeam to fall in my lap. 
 Instead this Gunnar frameset came up here on the list and I took a flyer. 
 There's no way I ever could run a true singlespeed.  There's too much 
steep uphill riding in my daily life.  Since this bike has regular track 
dropouts and caliper brakes, I set it up as a 2x2 with a single chain 
length.  38x16 is my high gear and 35x19 is my low gear.  A flashy 
highlight is another harlequin wrap job.

This is a 1987 Schwinn Paramountain 26" wheel mountain bike.  I got this 
second hand and did an overhaul, a Bosco Bullmoose conversion and added a 
red B-17.  Check out the extra swank front and rear Suntour Roller cam 
brakes!  I'm going to have this up for sale at the Harding Elementary 
School fundraiser this Saturday for $600.  If it doesn't sell, I'll keep it 
for myself.  It's a 22" (56cm) frame, with a 75.5cm Saddle Height in the 
photo.  I took a page out of Pudge's book in that I bought the bike for 
$400, did the overhaul, added about $400 worth of parts and am selling it 
for $600.  Fiscal responsibility isn't my strong suit.
