What bike did you ride today?

-
Late yesterday, I rode Yellow Fever down to Wade's house to pick.up copperhead's
( 1964 project Varsity ) repaired forks.
I did read the excellent thread that @bikewhorder posted years ago in regard to straightening bent forks. But, I dont have any of the tools and Wade is a metal fabricator......so....you get the picture.

the end.. well not really cause I still had to ride up hill back to the house. Totally worth it. Great ride!
Very cool! My girl and I have joined @Vintage Paintworx several times to ride that trail.
 
Really humid morning ride. Got the new rear tire, everything is tuned and it's like a new bike again.

1968 Schwinn Racer.
