I stopped at a coffee shop on the way to the farm market. They were holding a bone marrow drive. My commute/errand bike's at about 49 seconds, then you see my bag on a chair, and there's a brief shot of me at abut 1:49 seconds.
But my 15 nano seconds of fame's not important.
Be the match! You may save a life.

This thread seems to be quiet, but I wanted to share :)

Bella, my older than I am road bike. She's a project of mine. Being a 22 year old self-supporting poor student makes it hard to splurge on bikes, so I'm working on restoring her. My graduation gift to myself will be a new, shiny, custom bike

Cookie Monster, my commuter. This is a picture of him leaning up against a steel staircase along our 9 mile commute after hurricane Irene as I was clearing the pathway a little

Think you got a good deal, you obviously know lots about this bike and know that it cost around $950 when new!
Have lots of great rides on her.
Utmost respect to you, restoring your bike and quite honestly, I bet you get as much fun and excitement on your bike as anybody else, if not more.Quote:

Incidentally, my bike I inherited from my son and it's a 1998 and I would not change it for anything else.
Happy riding.
BTW Pleased you posted on this thread, otherwise I would have forgotten it.
Bella looks like a super find. I hope you have fun working on her.
Since I'm new, I'll share too. Here's my main/favourite bike:
First metric century on the new bike
On my utility bike, a Cannondale Quick4 with knobbies.

goldfinch-I really love your folder! I've always wanted one. Are there any major differences between the folders and solid bikes?
There are big quality differences between folders, as there are with any bikes. Mine is an inexpensive seven speed folder, but it seems well made and it is lightweight aluminum. Some of the cheaper folders weigh too much.Quote:

On my Dahon folding bike. And in Copenhagen in 2nd photo to right. http://thirdwavecyclingblog.files.wo.../jeanalien.jpg
I hope this photo worked! It's the Mundo and me at our recent overnight camping trip. I carried firewood in the crate attached to the rack. Awesome!

This was last week outside the breakfast cafe. My bike is the cream Luna, my Husband's is the green Rivendell. The pear tree was in bloom. :)

Your bikes look so happy together, Lisa! :D
Here I am today after riding to the southern tip of the island we live on (or as far as we could go until the road was flooded out). That's the Caribbean Sea behind me. :)
