This is a mid 80s Bridgestone - some serious lust going on in my household this morning. Joe Bell paint job. Check out the color coordinated derailleur cable housing.

It's not offiially for sale YET. It's probably a 49 - too small for either of us. BUMMER!

49? oh dear. I could make that fit.

Good thing I'm a poor gal who's already got 3 bikes or ....

I love those lugged frames! Yesterday on my longest-ride-in-20-years (70 miles) on my beloved Luna, I realized that I was riding in the hoods most of the time because that's where the shifters are...before, on my older bikes (1980s Vitus was my last road bike), I rode on the flats and on the hoods, but not solely on the hoods. I didn't have to because the bike had downtube shifters.

There are advantages to each, but I really like your classic bike!

I love the oldies!! Nice touch with the Silca Pump. Is that new Durace or older just cleaned up??

Don't know. Thom discovered it in the Jo Momma forum of Adventure Rider.

Very pretty. Trek, I think you need another bike. C'mon, you said you could fit it, you get the Bridgestone. You know you want to....

I'm going to try to be good :D It is one beautiful bike but I'd feel guilty about a 4th till everyone here has at least 2 ;)

Is that really a 3-armed spider on the crankset?
