I've been creeping the site for a few years and never posted any photos of my bike stuff. Figured I'd start with my most recent acquisition, my first Electra - a Rally Sport.

Added the apes I got from Santa the night I got the bike and didn't even get a before shot. Rest of bike is as-is from the craigslist seller.

This is also the first time I've ridden farther than the driveway. Definitely needs a lay back seat post and/ or a different seat.

Next bike takes us back to the first build I attempted - a 1995 Schwinn 100 year anni frame from my LBS and some miscellaneous parts.

Version 3, craigslist Fat Frank tires and a tank.

Still have the wheelset and fender tho. The tires are solid rubber.

Very heavy with the rack. Never could get the front fork dialed in - get the crown tightened down and the wheel will still point off center/ loose.

I need to get a better photo, but got the blue huffy last summer I think. Had to take it off to get it on the rack but the Huffy came with a plastic yellow tank.

Schwinn was a freebie from a friend. Junk rear wheel or something, never missed with it much.
