is the serial # on the rear dropout? If so, 1959

...wide tires in the rear (double them up?)

thank you!

it's my birthday weekend (we get those, right???)! i'll be... 36 ...damn i'm gettin old!

i wear black chucks...and only black (except my brown ones...they go with my suit!). i wear them until they fall apart...if the bottom is still attached, the shoes are good!

my GF HAD a Kryptonite chain-lock...we were in a coffe shop for 10 min and someone cut through the chain...

about the Kryptonite locks...don't use the round key style (Bic pens open them)

i use the one pictured here (blue chain...different lock...i'll post a pic of it later)...overkill? maybe, but it works GREAT! My GF uses a Kryptonite New York Lock STD... true.. don't know if the stats are correct, but also true. if your bike is locked in an area where people can see it...

pics please... even if we can't ID it from the pics at least we get some eye-candy!

the problem with "large" saddles is with the person's inner-thigh...it might rub and cause chafing...or worse, restrict blood flow to the feet...the most comfortable saddles i own are leather (ie, no padding in the way most people think about padding)...getting a 'seat' that is too wide for the...
