Great pics of the Schwinn and the guys!

I retinking my fenderlessness because we got 9.5" of new snow
It's not going away any time soon and the streets are a mess
Supposed to rain Saturday and it may just be the tipping point :lol:

Keep those pics rolling

Thanks Steve,

Sunday it's suppose to rain hard here all day.

The Moanark with one fender works great in the slushy wet snow.
Keeps your butt dry. And the bike doesn't get to much heavy slush build up.

Should be nice to have the Schwinn with both fenders in the rain.....
... When you're bent over like a pretzel the front tire splashes dirt all over your face. :wink:
Without a front fender.

Excellent photos as always Skipton! 8)

Your Schwinn is one of my favorite bikes here, what type of tires are you running on this bike?

Re: Skipton's Gallery and Random Photos (Got the Schwinn out)

Thanks Sleepy,

One of my favorite bikes also, the bike just is so much fun to ride.

Tires are Felt Thick Brick 24x3 on the rear, and Felt Quick Brick 26x2.25 on the front..

Love the look and how nice these tires roll.

Today it's close to 60 degrees and rainy. My 10 year old son Garret wanted to go for a walk in the park.

Had a great ride in to work this afternoon beat the heavy rain.
See what happens on the way home tonight. :roll:

Just a few random pics from the past week....

Cold and wet out side but the espresso is hot inside the Coffee Studio

Under the brown line "EL" tracks

Cool door in the alley.

More great espresso at Heritage General Store.

Need a fender light for this bike for years.... Got a cheap $18 repop
Mounted it on the fender today to see how it looks before painting the
light and the much in need of new paint fender

Thanks for looking!

Thanks! I think it will all look good when painted to match the fender.

I think it looks good black to match the frame. 8)

Thanks Kevin,
Still undecided, for $18 I might just order another and try black
And fender matching.

Re: Skipton's Gallery and Random Photos

$18??? Where did you get it?

+1....inquiring minds need to know!

Plus I also vote for keeping it black...highlights the bike's black frame. 8)

I'm grooving on the shadow shots
Tough call for light color: to contrast/match or blend, hmm...

Re: Skipton's Gallery and Random Photos

This is what I ordered from Bicycle Bones
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1996-Schwinn-Ph ... 4853d74a97
What they sent me was a complete re-pop light lens guts and all.

Best $18 I ever spent :mrgreen:

I should order another one to see which one they send out. :wink:

More to come on if the light gets paint or not soon. :wink: :mrgreen:

Thanks for looking!
