40 F today and no wind. The side road hills are covered in wet ice and terrifying. Once on the highway all is clear. I got out old Slush and Slop, the spring salt won’t be a worry because it’s bones are from a $98 Walmart bike. 16 miles on it today
and it rides surprisingly well for what it is. I put bottle cage mounts on it with rivet nuts. I used steel bars, gooseneck and brake levers from a freebie junker. I used SPD pedals and Chang Star cantilever brakes. Same wheels and gearing as original. The 700 c original tires were replaced with inexpensive Schwinn 1.95 x 29er mountain bike tires.
I rode the 1936 Snyder moto out of town to pick up my truck being serviced at the dealer. 515 3-Spd Dreigang with 44x20. No accessories on this fine running workhorse. Picked up a lot of road debris on the way out, but not wet like......^^
Got way back into the Rancho Los Amigos ghost town today on the 41 DX without getting kicked out, last pic I came across about 5 acres where they flattened the abandoned buildings and getting ready to build something, they have probably redeveloped 1/4 of the 200+ acres over the yrs so who knows what's to come?, bummer because I have been riding here for 50+ yrs and it's gradually getting smaller.
Great autumn day in Melbourne today. I picked up this 2012 kos kruiser recently. I remember seeing an original in 83 in a local bike store when i was 16 and thought it was best bike i had even seen. This one has a double butted cromo frame in raw finish with some great parts. Swapped the kiddy bars for huge cook bros replicas from Atomic and raised the stem 40mm. Fast and smooth. Short rear centre makes it so easy to ride and accelerate from the lights like a cut cat! Holley Performance was the original and last speed shop in town.
