What bike did you ride today?

[tripple3]

1940 Western Flyer, Heavy Duty, south first, into the wind...

fought the south head-wind to 15th street, Newport, 7AM turn around...

to the end of Sunset Beach...

almost home, starting to rain...

36 miles before the wet weather gets here; this bike loves to fly.

Right on ozzie. I have two Shoguns in the basement (owned three in total). Both bought new by me. Both Team Issue Prairie Breakers. An '88 and a 91-ish (can't remember). Shogun marketed for a while, the disappeared. GT helped kill them IMO (with the triple triangle thing).
I had the Tioga Farmer John tires on the first, and the Ritchey WCS Mega Bites & Z Max tires on the newer one. Best mtb tires ever IMO (early Ritchey's - folding and light)
I will grab a pic of mine soon. Cheers

Thanks mate. Those shoguns you have are the bees knees. I would love to see them. Re those Farmer john tires (think mine were nephews) i removed mine shortly after buying it as i was riding mainly on sealed roads. Had them in mums garage for years and stupidly tossed them out when she sold the house about 10 years back!

I washed and pumped up the tires on my '59 Higgins Flightliner. I rode around the " village " of Mechanicsville and further up north on the TNT.
This is the old Fowler estate

What's now a housing complex use to be Fowler store

The old bank

Further up north

Great sunny day, Great ride. Be Safe.

I put the baskets on the ratcycle so I can go and get groceries. It's a Spring day here for sure, 62 and blue, sunny skies, and
I even found an old car by the cheese shop while I was downtown. It's a great day for a ride! I even got lapped by 4 youngsters riding wheelies.

In reply to ozzie, I broke out and rode my Shogun Team Issue Prarrie Breakers today. Both in riding condition, although the camo one has been pilfered quite a bit of the good parts it once had (thanks to the ex wife lol).
The red/white/black '88 is virtually mint. Its not my original one as I mentioned. I broke the rear U brake bosses on my original and the camo frame (91-93) was warrantied to me. This red/white/black Team Issue I now possess I acquired through a vintage bicycle shop. Dumb luck.
