Not that old, but I thought I'd post my 1993 Giant Innova, originally MC Hammer-time purple with silver streaks. My first attempt at customizing a bike (excepting all the bikes I made from discarded parts when I was a kid) and I use it as my general beater.
Here are the shifters I made from some downtube shifters to sort of resemble something that might be found in an old fighter or bomber cockpit. The green twine didn't look right, so that's been replaced by brown.
Needs a pinup girl! I like this one because it reminds me of my ex and I think it's funny because she's not a bike person (we are still friends). The other fork has a different girl with a less funny name.
General use. This was actually just an experiment as there's too much traffic and a big hill coming back from a day paddling to get this to the ocean from my house, plus the plastic boat isn't so good in the ocean and there's no way I'd risk my wood boats like this!
