What bike did you ride today?

[SKPC]

'47 Shelby Traveler gettin' it's first taste of Oregon sunshine. 65 and light rain. Glad to have fenders and bitchin' mudflap.

Hey Ian. You seem to have picked up an animal part somewhere on your ride! Can those Cabers running these furry things please explain why animal tails are attached to your bike? Cool new Shelby tanker Ian for you to get out on!

Rode the Tour de Manure today with my girlfriend. Rode the Trek single speed. It was mostly flat. Took about 4 hours. Followed by a hot shower and medicine.

Haha!! I have that tail attached so I can be like @tripple3 with his racoon tail. Mine is a red-eared squirrel from SE Washington. I'm loving the Shelby Traveler and planning to upgrade the running gear soon. New tires, tubes, spokes, and a Redband kickback hub. I wanted to start using 1/2 pitch chain, and get away from skiptooth antiques.

Man, now you've got me wanting a whole stuffed squirrel to put in the spokes...

Great pictures from you again! And I must see about finding a tweed riding outfit to wear as well!!

You might get away with tweed in the North West @ian, but I wouldn't fancy wearing it in Socal!

Been too busy to ride this week or play on this forum, for that matter.
Got out with the Sunday group today and remembered my camera.
I've been wanting to show Tim's lightweight Japan custom beauty.
It was built to his personal dimensions by Katsunobu Takada when Tim was stationed there in the '80s.

Obviously, it's a live-with bike, and Tim has made drivetrain and cockpit changes along the way.

I think that's supposed to be Friend.

Beautiful lugged steel frame, and a cozy personal ride.

Speaking of live-with bikes, I was on my '74 International.

Does tweed come in silk? Or Rayon?

 

[dnc1]

Haha.
Unfortunately not, it's always in heavy sheep's wool.
A friend has suggested tweed patterned lycra before!
A horrible thought that I want removed from my mind!

@dnc1
Ventile rainwear is mostly specific to Great Britain, as well.
Knickers are universal (to keep your knees warm).
