2007 I had these rims powder coated green. Not for any particular project but just because I liked the green. Once the wheels were built I stashed them in the attic.
2008 I wanted to see the green wheels on a bike so I pulled this twin bar frame down out of the attic and built it up.

Later I tore down this bike and sold the frame and stashed the green wheels in the attic.

2009 I wanted to build up a bike to take on our trip to the Portland TDF and the West Coast. Brought down the green wheels and a frame from the attic and built this.

After returning home I tore down the bike and stashed the green wheels in the attic.

Later in 2009 I brought down the green wheels from the attic and swapped out the black ones I had on the Bike of Frankenstein for the Art Of The Bicycle show.

After the show I decided I liked the black wheels better so I swapped them back and up in to the attic the green wheels went.

2010 I wanted to build a special ride for Anti-Tweed Night at the Pub Pedal. I thought the green wheels would clash nicely with my outfit. Up to the attic I went.

Anti-Tweed night came and went and this bike was getting in the way so I tore it down and stashed it and the wheels back up in the attic.

2011 the green wheels received a much needed break.

2012 itching to build something new I drug a frame and the green wheels down from the attic.

Not really liking the green wheels on this build I built some new wheels and replaced the green wheels. Back in to the attic the green wheels went.

Today the green wheels still on my mind I drug them down along with a frame and built this.

The green wheels have served me well and I look forward to many more years with my green wheels.
 
He likes them in the house
he likes them with a mouse

green wheels suit him well
even on his bicycles with bells

yes sir those green wheels sure are dandy
only for a dude named Randy.

:lol:

Sorry I couldnt resist.

He stores them in the attic.
Yes, Randy is a colored wheel addict.
 
Great thread! I have a few parts that have made the rounds too
Not quite as distinctive though.
Funny poem Ratfink and Cman, thanks for the laugh!
 
Thanks for starting my morning off right. Great story, awesome bikes, clothing??? Just kidding, I wish my city had a bike club or any bike related activities. I also have some parts that seem to make the rounds from bike to bike. Thanks again, Gary
