WOW flashlights AND bikes all in one place??? LOL......anyway i love all the bikes here.......i come from a VERY HEAVY downhill riding family......unfortunately being 38 now, and having the knees of a 93 year old.....i have gone from having 5 different trail/downhill bikes, to having just one bike. a cruiser bike i have made a few modifications to, such as Brooks saddle, Brooks grips, Brooks tool bag, some bear trap pedals, upgraded the crappy disk brakes to some Avid BB7's, and a nice little "custom painted to match the frame" rear LED light just above the rear disk.....

what do you think?

I fell so hard for BryDaddy's Electra I had to go out and buy my own. It's no where near as cool, but the time spent yesterday (and in the future) riding with my 15 year old son was so worth the $$$$.

Thanks to everyone in this thread for reminding me how much fun riding a bike can be.

Happy Fathers Day!

Very impressive bikes and bike knowledge on here. Hope it is not inappropriate to ask in this thread , but I am thinking of getting a Trek 7.2 FX for getting back into shape, and general entry level touring on city streets/neighborhood. Any sage thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated!

Please keep in mind the rule for posting pictures on CPF, quite a number of images in this sub forum exceed the maximum allowable image size of 800 X 800 Pixels.

I sure like that Electra! I can't quote with picture however, because it exceeds 800x600.

Dust in the Wind
1975 Schwinn Collegiate Camel Back.
In 1974 they made 500. It was a limited edition run.

This is the only known 75 model in existance.


Speaking of only one...
This one is a custom made number by a guy who works at Worksman Bicycles in New York. Chain stays, top tube length, seat stay angle, head tube angle and fork rake were all built to my requested numbers. The rear wheel is a 2 speed hi/lo coaster brake number. Custom made chromed annodized alluminum wheels with 10 guage spokes, OEM Goodyear 1940's tires, period correct leather grips and saddle all went into the build.


2011 meets 1911.
This Schwinn Wayfarer was converted into a light weight racer. The pic is before it was completed. Hollow axles, carbon fiber fenders, lightweight alluminum parts galore, carbon forks, foam grips, 25mm kevlar sidewall hard compound racing tires and a custom set of 7 cogs make this one scary fast on the street. I shaved off grams everywhere I could while providing a stable and sturdy platform.


A 24" wheel'd John Purse Redline.
Once owned by multi time champ John himself this racer was auctioned off after he won a local race on it. It still has the 3rd place qualifier tag on the brake cable. We put a more comfy seat and S&M handle bars on it.


Aaaaaaand a few more I had sitting around.
All but the red bike were disassembled and stashed to make room in the garage for...

This car.
A 1991 Honda Prelude SI ALB. It had been garaged all but 1 year of its life. It lived under a high end car cover in my driveway awaiting a motor swap that 1 year. Soon after it was back indoors and getting a full on restore.

I now have a few bikes in my shed awaiting restorations.

Peugeot uo-18 from around '74. All original as far as I can tell aside from the new tires and tubes I put on it. Even the original chain I believe. Is a bit small for me, and a road bike is completely unsuitable, but it sure is pretty
