What bike did you ride today?

[SirMike1983]

Took the 67 Racer for a short shakedown ride to see if everything is working ok. Picked it up a few weeks ago as a basket case with the rear wheel bent badly. Relaced another rim for the rear wheel. The bike cleaned up really well.

The bike rides smooth and I really like the 23" frame. It fits me better than my ballooners. I still have to order a set of new S-6 tires. The whole bike only cost me as much as one new whitewall tire will.View attachment 667681 View attachment 667682 View attachment 667683

Those electroforged Schwinn 3-speeds of the '60s-70s are still undervalued in today's market. They're heavy, but solid and reliable bikes. They also come in full-size frames for adults. I love ballooners, but their frames are often small. Your 3-speed came out great. Nice color.

I laced up a set of hoops for the Autocycle over the weekend. I'm really happy to have my bike on the road again.

Put some mud on them pretty tires today! The bike also received a compliment today, so that felt nice.

First time I took this one off road, it handled pretty good. Only problem I encountered is I found I did not tighten the the stem bolt tight enough, and had to twist the fork a few times to align the handlebars back up. This wasn't a super long voyage, and more a test run.

Got a red schwinn hornet 1955 off of craigslist for a great deal. All i had to do was pump the tires a little bit for the red hornet and it rode great. Best part is its the same frame and size as my maroon already really like it. My line up is growing

Back from vacation and loving being on these two wheels again. Was bummed I couldn't join @Floyd for his kick butt ride on the burgh. Glad to see you riding!

Rode in a big loop to and from Wallingford. Stopped near Blewburton Hill hillfort again, can never quite fully appreciate the sheer volume of labour involved in digging out these terraces in pure chalk.....View attachment 667546

Noticed this fresh "beefsteak" fungus hiding inside the tree, bit of a death knell for it, but, all things must pass.....View attachment 667563

The Monark HTB was easiest to get to this morning so off to work it went. It even carried my lunch for me!
