After the popularity of the black bikes thread, I wanted to do a red bikes thread.

Why Simplex though? Simplex is not very good.

It looks cool and I got it cheap. It works just fine for me.

@handyandy1100 just an FYI, if you have a hole your stem, just ahead of the quill bolt, It's a cable stop for the front brake. If it'll work with what you're using, you could tidy up the cockpit a bit!

Yeah, I know, but I am using old school side pull caliper brakes. Trying to keep some of the '70's vibe.

That was my thought with the side pull: wasn't sure if it would align. I learned something!

RG thanks for fixing the pic...

You should just be able to open it in a photo edit app (or program if on PC) and rotate it around, save it, and it should upload properly. With some apps, you just have to open the image and save it and it will post fine.

'64 Monark Thunderbird. A work in progress. I have a new wheel set with a Nexus 3 speed hub to put on it. And some other tweaks...
