Here's Cedar, my lovely new/old Giant RS940! She's been to the "spa" at Robinson Wheelworks, and emerged from her crysalis with spiffy new Nitto All-Rounder bars, a basket, gorgeous brass bell, laced grips, new brake levers and cables, and BMX pedals. (now I have 2 1/2 road bikes with BMX pedals, yummy!) Next up: a Brooks B67... and maybe a powdercoat.
(and check out that nice Bridgestone in the background. Hey, RogueDog...)
Here's a close-up with a view of Bars, Bell, Basket, Badge, and BMX.
We sprinkled her with champagne and toasted her arrival with bubbly and chocolate. Hooray!
Pretty! :D
i found the bike being sold used for $80 and said to myself "self" I said "that looks just Knotted's size". So I got it.
Turns out it's circa 1987

Chris at Robinson added Panaracer Pasela tires, Tectro brake levers. We took her on a short inaugural ride on the Alameda Creek trail today, sweet! And it's amazingly light. Knotted frolicked through the gravel parts of the trail bonding with the bike :p :D
Wow! She cleans up so nicely.:cool: I'm digging the handled basket. I can just picture the two of you strolling arm-in-arm through the farmers market with Knot's basket hanging from the crook of her free arm.;):D I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Yea, another classic bike with lots of personality and fun.
Very nice! The leather grips and brass bell make a very classy combo.
Lovely!
Very nice! I like the silver color and the headbadge!
I confess I'm having a hard time keeping all your bikes straight at this point. :eek: ;)
Me too! But they sure all seem to be beautiful. Plus, have ya'll noticed the number of clothing reviews by the OP? - I'm noticing about 2 per month.:p:D I'm making fun but you are doing a great service for this community. Where would people like me be without people like you? I have been clued in to so much cool apparel.Quote:

Ok, so correct me if I'm wrong- I think I actually remember on the forum here over the past two years when you got each one of these four bikes! -I certainly do remember when you nabbed that yummy Waterford! :pQuote:

But then that leaves the question...what were you riding before these 4 bikes??
Knott rode a Kona Dew before her current stable, and I had a Trek 420.
Ahh...hence your user name! :pQuote:
