He actually has a passion for bikes (probably not for riding them) and loves to prettify them. That's busy work. Especially tracking down period specific bits.

Can you imagine that nightmare? I will say, there was an old steel Trek in my commuter bike room, and it was PRETTY. No model designation, though. Might have to look it up somehow. Talk about SKINNY tires - must have been 19s??? I don't know how folks rode those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted October 12, 2019 Share #26 Posted October 12, 2019 I've always found him to be a good poster (although you may not agree with him) but lately I think the state of the internet forums has taken it's toll. Some do not suffer trolls well. I really like his bicycle threads. The man has been around bikes for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Page Turner Posted October 29, 2019 Popular Post Share #28 Posted October 29, 2019 ...here I am. I have been riding and painting a few frames in the last of the milder Fall weather. The Cinelli turned out really nice, and I bought a 70's tres tubi Columbus Stella from the Mountain Bike Museum guys down in Fairfax a couple of weeks ago. The paint was pretty OK on that one, so I clear coated it with some 2 part epoxy after some minor touch up's. The best part of that one so far was the chicken and waffle lunch I ate at the Hummingbird when I picked it up. I also managed to get accused of racism by a Chinese American guy over a parking spot on Clement St on that same trip. So the bike already has some fond memories for me, and I have yet to ride it. The only recent one I have photos of reassembled is this Raleigh Lenton. It was a lot of work. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onbike1939 Posted October 29, 2019 Share #29 Posted October 29, 2019 I hate to have to say this....but I haven't missed you at all...not even a little bit. I just knew you'd be back and probably with some photos of some old and dilapidated bike.....and here you are. The Raleigh looks to be '60's going by the forks at least and the rear triangle is definitely not a thing of beauty. I would be prepared to bet that the Cinelli will turn out to be the prettier bike.......I still think it disgraceful that you....an ill-equipped rustic... have access to these vintage machines.

onbike1939 Posted October 29, 2019 Share #30 Posted October 29, 2019 Looking at the chain-set I now see the bike as older......'50's perhaps. I think you stole this bike....I mean no-one in their right mind would actually buy the thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to be an easy recovery ride for me but the wind was so tough I was pushing hard to do 12.8 at times ha ha! It was push hard or fall over!
