What we have: Spouse Old (late 80's? early 90's) Mongoose mountain frame, set up as a commuter, with racks, fenders, slicks, and those cool big loop Scott handlebars Giant OCR C2 Custom Bike Friday he bought from a friend. Currently in its suitcase
Me 2003 Lemond Zurich WSD. 700c Just had the bars raised via a stem riser, so we'll see if we are friends again. Fenders? Lights? Rack? haha Bleriot w/S&S couplers, fenders, racks, generator hub and lights. 650B. It was my rando bike for several years, which is why it is the best local trips bike ever. After the left hook crash, rebuilt from the couplers forward, plus a Saluki fork, repainted close to Hilsen blue. Custom Sweetpea w/S&S couplers, fenders, front rack, generator hub and lights. 650B The rando bike. Offsite (kidnapped by daughter) 1971 Gitane TdF Professional, rebuilt by me; new crank, new rear wheel, new brakes. Rear rack and fenders. Kept the exceptionally cool Simplex downtube shifters and derailleurs. Borrowed it back while Bleriot was in hospital, borrowed a friends 700c generator wheel, swapped out the pedals for clipless, and commuted on it for several months. Nice ride. While I am occasionally bit by new bike hunger (who WOULDN'T want a custom Thompson?), I find it very difficult to form a narrative (thank you Franklyn!) about where that bike would fit in my usage pattern/bike collection. Here they are. Lots of pics, but only 4 unique bikes. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lynnefitz/sets/72157656648672161 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
