My wife and I encountered all of these during a 7.6 mile ride around a nearby small river town yesterday morning..

I like our LBS, as well. The current owner is 2 years older than I, and started there as a part-time employee while in high school. When the previous owner decided to retire some time in the 90s, the current owner decided to step up and buy him out. He's a good guy, very knowledgeable. Once when...

I have a set of the Jones bars that I'll be using. I like your idea of the wrapped bar, but I plan to use black tape. Cromoly would have been my first choice, and I did find a few frames I liked in my size, but none of them would accommodate the wheelset I plan to use in the Budnitz. There was...

Creative, but my backside hurts just looking at that. Ouch!

Bless me, but I'm going to be sleeping in the garage: I caved and bought the Budnitz Alpha aluminum & CF cruiser. This is one of the best looking frames I've ever seen. The swoop reminds me a lot of my 1999 Specialized Crossroads Sport, which I was riding this morning with my wife. The frame is...

Very nice. I was out riding my 1999 Specialized Crossroads cro-mo SS with my wife this morning, and it struck me the resemblance between the old Crossroads and the Budnitz.

Yeah, their web site says they closed permanently due to pandemic difficulties. I imagine they're just trying to liquidate remaining stock.

Dead thread revival. I stumbled across this thread when I was trying to find out if anyone here knew anything about Budnitz. I found this current listing on The Big Auction Site: https://www.ebay.com/itm/184869664439?hash=item2b0b1736b7:g:p3QAAOSwJqlgEMb8 From reading previous posts in this...

Very clean layout. Might I ask what size wheels/tires you are running, and are those drum brakes?

Cool, mild weather to start this morning's ride. It's about 90F here at home, but it stayed mild and comfortable two hours away up in the mountains.

A couple from just down the street moved to north-central CO not long ago. From what I've read, it's a race between you folks and Idaho to see who can bring in new people the fastest.

A bit of a long drive for me, lol.

Anyone have an idea where I might find a frame for a Trek Multitrack 700 or 720, 20" unisex (not the men's version)? I've been thinking of building up a 700c step through bike, and would prefer a Trek frame if I can find one.

Amazing work.

I build musical instruments as a hobby. Here's my current project, a kiku, with another project I just completed, a building form for a baritone ukulele.

Early morning ride along a recently resurfaced rail trail.

Thanks for the replies. I can be patient on this . . . it's not something I have to do. I guess I think differently than a lot of folks; to me, 700c x 38 is a narrow tire. I'll keep my eyes open and see what pops up. There's a GT Arette "women's large" 19" frame on eBay right now. I usually ride...

Question for you gurus: do you know if there are any older step through frames that will accept 700c tires in the 45-50mm range? In searching, I see a lot of 26" frames, and the 700c frames I do see are road frames. Specialized and Priority both have a couple of modern step through bikes in that...

Yeah, Rob has had some great builds/restoration projects. At one point last year he said he had 30 bikes. Wow.

Last October, riding my Marin 650B aluminum frame on an abandoned rail "trail" in the New River Gorge in southern WV. Came upon a tree fallen across the trail, with a small path around the tree. I started to just ride around the tree, and then decided not, but stopped on a small incline and lost...
