I've been putting miles on my Colson for a couple seasons now.
Last summer I had Beehive in front(sold it) and full Gothic fenders filled with Hanks then Lightning Darts.
Last week I mounted some Beach Bums on my old faithful 7 speed wheel set and now curb hopping is EZPZ and the trails are a blast.
Rode this score today after a light cleaning. Even found a rainbow with this pot of gold.
Today I had 3 out, but I rode Harlequin T the most.

My latest project has been getting a lot of miles lately -- a craigslist Kulana cruiser with a triple tree fork and not one but TWO sets of brakes on the back wheel. (Closeup of the brakes over in "Macro Monday": http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index....ail-shot-on-monday.96055/page-55#post-1079517 )
It's hard to tell from the first picture that there's a 24" wheel up front:

Sunday Model C has been my main rider so far this year.
99 schwinn prostock, nashbar mountain bike in my avatar, have been working in the rotation.
Skate park riding (or my old guy attempt at it) tempered goods treason decked out with a bunch of odyssey gear. Bought this assembled for a great price and its well sorted. Ill swap the stem to a sunday freeze topload and have 3 sets of S&M bars to try out to get it just right.

Just a short late evening cruise to test out the balance on my cooler rack. Taking it to Pookie's Tamale Ride tomorrow. Gotta have refreshments on board it's hot in the city.

Been rolling around on old trusty most of the time lately. Trying to log as many miles a week as possible while dodging rain drops

How do you like that thing? I've been on the fence about picking up a 24 or 26 for killing the streets. Been looking at the Kink Drifter
Sunday model C, I love it. Redline 24" MX24 and everything else is collecting dust. I generally ride 21" top tube, 9" bar, topload stem on a 20", this Sunday fits perfect. Its big enough with the 24's and frame size that its comfortable for an adult, but still small enough to throw around like a BMX should.
I havent been on a 26 BMX but I think youd lose some of that ability.
Only changes planned are an S&M long johnson post and quick release seat clamp. I need to drop the seat on trails or park, but would like a little more post for long rides with the kids.
