    The World Voyageur it was an outsource bike made by Panasonic for one year . As I understand it the the brakes and the derailuer were better then what was standard on the Paramont. So yeah it was a good bargain, maybe to good of a bargain. As far as the French bikes are concern they were a...

    How to tell if a road bike is worth restoration....

    I really agree with the paragraph on tubing. You need to also list as good components are the higher level Sun Tour and Campy derailuiers. Shimano 600 parts are great too. I have some roadbikes with the nicer Sun Tour and Campy parts I wouldn't trade for anything.

    I just got out of bed, everything looks better when I just get up in the morning! I'm sure that when the fenders match up it will just rock.

    The last dance for a while.

    Like the way it looks as it stands except maybe the basket. But anything that is red is good in my eyes. Every car that I have owned has been some shade of red. Bikes on the other hand have been blue, red, green, chrome, etc.

    Huffy Nel Lusso Build

    I know I'm not much of a ratrodder but I do know touring bikes. May I suggest you try WTB saddles. I'm using what they call "speed v" I have found it to fit my bum. I have used Brooks saddles it took a long time for it to break in. (don't know if it was my saddle or my bum that broke in first)

    OCC Schwinn SOLD for $760

    They do seem to have a weight issue. Yeah my seat is maxed out too. Like I said around the block and that's about it. Thinking about putting a motor on it, but who knows for sure. Just as long as the boys are having fun with it. If i'm doing any long distance riding I have few other choices...

    OCC Schwinn SOLD for $760

    But how does it ride. I was paid to take an OCC away! Actual part of the deal was I had to ride it a mile non stop.

    Junk(yard)Liner

    Ok so things are not going to plans on scrap yard escapee, not a name change. Went to ride it because everyone has said that they ride well. Rode two house and the rearend locked up. Just for the record it does ride nice. Back to the drawing board.

    Buzzer Horn

    I'm thinking that someone is guessing what it is,was. I"m thinking perhaps for a horse and wagon or a car horn.

    Junk(yard)Liner

    Ok so I went out looking for a bar and stem for it. I found a nice chrome bar and stem tried to move the bolt and it's still stuck so now it's sitting in PB blaster in the sun. But I have a second set of bars and stem mounted on the bike and they don't look half bad. I also went with the s7...
