What bike did you ride today?

Pretty tough to keep pics fresh at times;
endless beauty along the coast;
beauty everywhere.

Took the monark out for 15 miles

Took my '72 Varsity " Yellow Fever" out and about the neighborhood. I got waved down by one of my neighbors who needed help to removing some shutters on his split foyer. He does not like ladders. So up I went.

With the shutters were removed, he paid me with a 24oz "roadie" I had to put my water bottle in my cargo pocket, since I popped the top and had a swig or three before heading home.

Great Ride, Ride Safe Gang!

I think we call your "roadie" a "barley pop".

Looks like you get your hair colored at the same hair dresser as I do!

Yeppers. Antique blonde!

OK yes, it’s a ladies bike and I rode it today. Actually picked it up for a good price yesterday for the wife. This thing sat in a garage for a long time before I got it and has all orig parts including tires and tubes. I can tell that I am the first person to ever take the wheels off this thing. It should clean up real nice, make for a good rider and keep mama happy.

Cool label. Foxie’s...

Another test ride on the 36 crusty huffy. I rebuilt the rear hub on this matching crusty drop center wheel that I picked up at the swap. It matches well rolls smooth stops well and is straighter than I thought but could use a little truing. There was some serious clanking going on though. I think this chain is a bit too twisted and may be misaligned. I'm glad to have found the correct forks. Gotta make them match a little better though. Have fun yall!

How can you straighten that chain?

How can you straighten that chain?

Take it off, put it in a vice, twist in the other direction until straight? I am all ears.

Got a longer ride in today on the Hermes-badged 21'st Century Hawthorne Flyer out to the coast, south to the Wedge, across Newport Harbor via the ferry, then inland past UCI up San Diego Creek to my turnaround. Great long ride away from the busy coastal zone on a machine that loves to be pushed. It continues to surprise me how smooth and fast it actually is!
