Had the day off and the Colson Custom has been rollin' smooth, so I took it for a quick spin around town to pay the intenet bill. Also met up with Moms for a bite at our local Cuban bakery Merengue. As I roll up, the first words out of her mouth were "I wouldn't even THINK about stealing that rusty thing. Pass!" Thanks Mom...
thanks to @KevinsBikes for the wheelset, @New Mexico Brant for the bike to build, @Frosty for the crank set, and my good friend Jim (Mr. Schwinn) McSweeney for straightening up the fork for me. Thanks to my bride for supporting me in my bicycle hobby. Thanks to the Cabe for a place for us all to come together.
Night ride on the Pierce Racer. Swapped out the bar for a Torrington set, added a couple lights for safety. Probably need to print up a warning label.
"Danger, this old bike is really fast, hang on!"
The Pierce weighs in at 28.1 pounds as it sits, the Westfield weighs in at 38.2 pounds. Both have the same gearing, and the Westy is really fast. The Pierce feels like it is going to come out from under you and leave you behind. Really fun.
