[riderick]

OK, more...
'80s Specialized Expedition with Bluemels alu fenders & Karamor bag

A (70's?) Motobecane Grand Jubile with Huret derailleurs (rear is Jubile long cage)

love that headbadge....

Another Paramount

Kool Lemon Sport Tourer, '71. I've since adjusted the handlebars & sorry the picture isn't clearer. Schwinn approved bag.

Here are a couple of Schwinns. I seem to have 'stem-shifter itis' with these two, not a shifter location that is much in style anymore. (Also, 'safety lever itis')
A Kool Orange Sport Tourer, circa 1971 and

a 70's Chrome Paramount, the touring model. Gotta get that Paramount on the road this summer....not gonna use sew ups, though......

how tall are you? those head tubes look huge!.. Nice collection.

Motobecane 'Le Champion'

nice old motobecane came into the shop for a tune & tires. cleaned up pretty nicely. it would be cool if he were to bring it in for some wider bars, tape, and hoods someday. if cost was no object i'd rebuild it with clinchers- but then again it's easy to come up with ideas on how to spend other peoples money....

early 80's Lotus Legend, came to me like this:

and gave it to my nephew like this:

My oldest son's early 70's Raleigh Sprite:

And his welcome home present from his second tour of Iraq:

Mid 70's Huffy Scout, long gone to a new home....

Schwinn Deluxe Varsity restored for a freind:

to become this:

and my old dependable 1971 steel frame Murray....with about 3000 miles on it:

 

[riderick]

Got the Mercian put together. Has 8 out of 12 speeds functioning and needs some more work..

 

[55ColumbiaBuilt]

1985 Raleigh Sportif

I paid ten bucks for it......................and I spent three times that much on two WalMart tires.

 

[Hay Burner]

My 2002 Airborne Zepplin full Ultegra group, Dura Ace hubs. Affordable Titanium before they went out of business they were owned by Pacific Bike company. To throw off smart alec bike mechanics I refer to it as my 'Huffy'. Seriously though this bike rides like a dream.

Just snagged this World Sport off CL last night for $35. Needs tires and a chain, but overall the bike is in great shape. No rust on the frame, wheels are clean, and the chrome and aluminum should only need minimal polishing. First I will get it rideable in the current geared configuration, but I may convert it to a single speed in the future.

And here is how it sits now, after about $70 in new parts (tires, cables, brake levers, bar tape) and a couple hundred miles :mrgreen:

I'm still considering the single speed conversion, but I won't go ahead with it until I have another road bike to ride while I tear down the Schwinn. I now have another addiction...

 

[Gold Street Customs]

This one is actually for sale 88 Trek T100 aluminum frame Mallard hubs, Edge brakes and drivetrain .

 

[rife with bikes]

I picked this one and then noticed that its too tall for my son. I will most likely trade it for a smaller frame so i can redo one for him. Its a Scwinn Sprint. Its the same size as mine.

Got the Mercian put together. Has 8 out of 12 speeds functioning and needs some more work..

Just a thought but aren't those stubby things supposed to be pointing forward so you can place your hands on them like you do on the brake hoods?

 

[Drummerboy1975]

My '74 Fuji that I just picked up today. I plan to restore this one.

 

[55ColumbiaBuilt]

LIBERIA made in Grenoble France 1974 or 75 I think. I replaced the gray cable housing with black, new tires, tubes, and a Brooks B-17 saddle. Brooks leather handlebar tape coming soon!

 

[K-dregg]

Liberia? Never heard of that brand.. Beutiful bike, but it would look much better if you htfu and slammed that stem.!

 

[Craiggo]

Here is my '81 schwinn varsity that I refurbished and the rest of my road bike family

 

[tuga]

Here's a crusty and rusty $15 resale shop pickup

 

[Bunbury]

Killer score tuga! The Cobra water bottle cage is probably worth $15...

 

[kingfish254]

One of a pair of early 90s Peugeots that I picked up for five bucks total.

The first one I put air in the tires and replaced the seatpost and sold for $230.
This one I put new tires on it and cleaned/tuned it . We'll see what I get for it.
It's a lavender frame with yellow lettering. That's why I went with the subtle yellow tires.

 

[scrumblero]

heres another one that was near free..... just needed some vigorous scrubbing and a pair of S-5's.. :lol:
