What bike did you ride today?

[Balloonoob]

Finished this Snyder Motobike bike up late yesterday. I got the frame from a friend, badly cratered headtube, primered. Popped the cups out and the tube was still good, so cleaned and polished the frame with steel wool, flitz, finished with wax. Assembled from orphan parts around the shop, recovered the seat, headbadge screws are broken off in the headtube, so I slapped a badge I made onto it with some 3m tape. Rims from Dan, stainless double-butted spokes, 1930s ND D with resurfaced discs and new bearings, NOS Atom aluminum front hub, Columbia Superb tires, NOS stainless fenders, grips from rideahiggins. Just took it a few blocks to Troy Donuts for a snack. Rides great, but brake was squealing like Mike's tires at 5pm on a Friday.
Gave it a few hard brakes and now it's nice and quiet, stops on a dime

Seems some of your favorite loved ones always rise to the surface!

Another late night cruise. Seen this hardtail and thought it was sweet. Can't afford the five hundo for new brakes and rear tire for my sporty so I carry on pedaling through the night and settling for 4 wheels during the day. First world problems.

I think we need a "let's see your Sportster" thread.

Beautiful night at the Outsiders car cruise in St. Charles last night. Great turnout with some sweet cars! The 55 Straightbar got a lot of attention.

I agree with you about the heat!! Didn't bother to look at the temps. Mid- upper 90's on the front range of Colorado with the monsoon rolling in off the Rocky Mtns. to boost the humidity through the statosphere is no fun!! (We complain when humidity hits double digits by the way)
So I took my '39 Westfield to get an ice crem cone at Scrumptious.

Also to celebrate being Friday and finally ending up with something found while riding this bike for Longmont Bike Night on Wednesday. Too busy engaged in conversation to take pics during the ride but saw a handle bar sticking out of a dumpster in a guys driveway.

Became happy owner of this 47 Zephyr in May and just finished the overhaul/cleanup. This morning, a slow test cruise around the neighborhood. Got my wife and son to commit to an after dark ride tonight to put the Delta to good use!

Out in the hills on the 47 klunker.i think it's kinda funny that the hardcore mtb guys drive to the trail heads.they kinda trip when they realize I do one big loop from my house to the hills and back.15 to 20 miles sometimes.no biggie normally but over half of it is serious climbing and dirt trails.and no biggie on a modern mtb.i have both.its a way better workout and alot more fun on a vintage 50 lb rigid with crap brakes.

First time out on an Elgin I just bought. Rides great except the Sears Allstate tires are slowing it down a bit I think.View attachment 1032543

Yeah, I love those tires, had some on my JC Higgins Colorflow, but the drag is a drag. Like pulling a couple of sandbags or pedaling thru quicksand. John's higher pressure repro chaintreads solved that.
