What have you been riding lately?

[Endlesschain]

Took the freshly rebuild Raleigh for a spin, rides nice for casual cruising
I used 29er wheels from a parted out bike, I removed the 7 speed rear cluster, removed the axle and replaced with a shorter axle (as the frame is originally a narrow width for single cog wheel) dished the wheel so its centered, the matching front wheel was disk hub so removed the rotor and dished the wheel to center it too, at the moment "braided cables" are the in thing at least in my mind, I just like them, chucked on a newish seat/post, bar/levers/grips, I put on a couple new chrome brake cable clips, replaced the BB with a better sealed BB, chucked on some old skinnies for tread, a couble old brake calipers and good to gone

Asylum Hank, 27.5

 

[MattiThundrrr]

The Hank is a rare bird. They didn't make enough of those

 

[JA331]

Hank is way cool as is the Avenger 27.5. Full chromoly frame. I convinced myself a while back I don’t need any more bikes.

I'm on vacation in Cape May Point New Jersey my wife and I are riding around town when I see this bike out in front of an old Victorian home put out for trash! I looked at the bike it's all original took it back to the place did some tinkering took her to the local bike shop now I've been riding it this whole vacation after some polishing I can't believe how good the Chrome looks this bike is going to be well loved. I believe it's a 1962 Schwinn Typhoon.

The 1962 wasn't a cantilever frame. it had twin straight bars. One year only design for the Typhoon. There were other models that used the same frame.

Schwinn changed from painted rims to chrome rims starting in 1965.

Your bike is a 1966. They sold the Typhoon and the Typhoon Deluxe with front rack!. Both with painted fenders and chrome rims.
Serial : The E is for May, the B is 1966.

1967 was the switch to chrome fenders.

Took this nice beast for a ride admittedly only a few laps around the storage yard, it's super cruisy and nice and smooth despite the rust

That paint is awesome. Good looking machine

Yup I like the paint and it's mostly rust free but there are some patches to clean up eventually, now it's getting to be summer I can start pulling out some bikes, I have a YouTube channel with a couple of very amateur videos of two bikes, I intend to start doing simple walk arounds on the bike I and my homeboy have, maybe about 100 bikes but some are incomplete or at this stage just frames, I will do basic walk around with some music, we have a good variety

Thanks so much for all the information I will cherish this 1966 Schwinn.

1996 Trek 520 Touring.
This was a basket case. Total rebuild. 36h rims, dyno front hub, sturdy front rack from England. Mtb drive train. 3x8 with some really low gears. I rode this across the USA in 2016, 40 years after BikeCentennial. The 520 was Trek's flagship touring bike for decades. One of their longest production models, well until they shifted production to Asia.

This Ely sign is 10.2 miles from my house so all my rides there are at least 20. Most are 40 to 45 as I usually go to the next town for lunch.

A glorious day for a ride. Last of the season if you believe the talking hairdos on the local weather coverage.

Fast Ripper on an absolutely stunning spring day.

10 gears and a strong tailwind for the ride home.

The Square One yesterday, a little decorated for the lights ride. Didn't have any gloves with me, my hands were really cold after 30 km at about 10 degrees Celsius....

Last night was the annual Light Ride in Berlin. It is usually connected to the Festival of Lights where you can admire beautiful projections on many iconic buildings of Berlin.
I featured again my IronPig with my little trailer in full nightly protest mode
My little one came with me and with the way to the starting point and back after the ride we had made around 52 kilometers last night when we came back shortly after midnight! So proud of my little one!

As a little special I had mounted to bike lights to the trailer, aiming at the flag. Like this you really could see it from far away. Here is some video footage a friend of mine took:

Hmm... This video format seems not to work here. I'll try again, when I'm back home Fixed!
