Nice.

The chain guard sure was intersting. I'd like to see a solid one like that.

I thought this was cool, a bike at the air museum. Maybe not so much to all of you, I don't know. I included the last pic because I liked the paint scheme. I plan on making my Gary Fisher in similar colours. Don't mind the creeper behind the glass box.

CP, I might be interested in red, as time goes on. I've never seen a yellow one. I wonder if one has ever been made in the 1977 or 1978 Flamingo Pink? That would be cool.

C.P., would that frame happen to be green? Everything I find on Craigslist is sold by the weekend. I know patience will pay off and I'll end up with that green camelback I've been waiting for.

A rear rack is all I would do, but I'm not sure they make one for 29ers. I hate riding without something (a fender or rack) over the back tire. I don't like getting rocks and debris in my hair and all over my back. I have a seatpost fender, but it would probably look too small on your bike. I...

I do. If only I had the room... :roll:

I know that a seat skin is $3 or $4 at the Pull a Part. Next time I'm in there I'm going to get a tan leather one to do a few seats. Seat backs are often in perfect condition and easy to work with.

I think she digs it (at least the colour). I talked her into this bike for the paved trails. The fenders have some dents and dings. Hopefully a body hammer and a heel dolly can minimize some of them.

Haha.

Today we went to the Air Force Museum in Dayton (Ohio) and on the way home we picked up this bike. The museum was a blast, there was so much to see. This time we got to see the Presidential and R&D planes, unlike last visit. It's going to get a different seat, a black springed Mesinger I have...

Looks like I answered my own question. I found a blue and green camelback in neighbouring states... :roll: Looks like a mini trip will be in order real soon.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know they were made for several years. Hopefully I can snag one up locally. I would take any colour now that I think about it. There was a nicer orange Varsity on the Cleveland Craigslist, but for $99 I figured I would save up my money for the camelback when it pops...

I will be camping along the way. Where is the best place to get shorts or padded underwear? A breathable shirt will work a lot better than a cotton t shirt, especially in the middle of the summer. I will probably get dropped off and picked up. It wouldn't be worth it to worry about a car the...

Lol, that's about right.

I once had a bike with about an inch of pedal clearance. I had a 20" wheel on the back and a 26" up front on a cruiser. I scraped pedal a lot and eventually threw the bike in the woods for someone else to enjoy.

Cool set ups. I'll post mine up when the camera gets back here.

I saw a thread on here with a blue camelback in the "fresh finds" forum, and I was wondering if any were made in green (especially) or orange (my second choice). Other than Craigslist & Ebay ,where would be the best places to look for a specimen? Around here bikes are expensive. At flea...

Cool. I like the front end a lot.

That green is simply the best.
