Picked up a few 20”s today.
Blue one is a Golden Lion, couldn’t locate the model online though. Cool muscle bike with a 3 speed.

Red one on the left is a Schwinn, I have no idea what one in the middle is. Has clean welds with pressed/crimped in dropouts.

Looks like a Murray built such as Murrey, Huffy, Sears, Western Flyer, etc.

Post a pic of the rear brake cable stop on the suspected Ibis. I know a little bit about them, as Chuck was a regular attendee at FFTF.

I’ll try and get one posted later today.
In the meantime, here’s a couple completes I got.
80’s-90’s Sentinel w/faded gold bits.

80’s killer Schwinn. I don’t build with springers, nor do I particularly like them, but I like this one and it might be a keeper.

And this Campy, it’s complete but in pieces spread out thru a few crates. Dura Ace group set. “Wilson” was the name of the original owner, that was his race bike.

Ibis, definitely and it looks to be a full custom frameset fabbed at Ibis. The detail I was looking for is the "Hand Job" cable housing stop for cantilever brakes.

What you have appears to be something custom ordered and is early vintage, pre-handjob so late 80's to early 90's would be my best guess. If you can find a way to contact either Scot Nicol or John Castellano, they would devinitely remember that frameset and get a kick out of it still being alive and in the hands of a true bicycle person.

I plan on rebuilding the cannondale, luckily I have all the pieces minus a couple shifter cables. But you got me thinking, what exactly is boost spacing?

The current mountain bike hub "standard". Extra wide, so you have to buy new everything. Or Gnot
