Why must you taunt me?

If you look at that photo of my hooptie you'll see a hook shaped dealy on the downtube. It is for a frame pump.
I haven't researched (I know) but does anybody know offhand where I could get me one a them pumps?

Is there only 1 peg or two? If two, then you probably won't find one. If one, then any full-size frame pump of the correct length (and some come in multiple lengths). The old two-peg pumps had the hose that screwed on one end.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure it's for the hose kind.

hello, ebay!

Last picture, I promise. Here's a shot of the custom decals. And if the owner's here, I hope she doesn't mind my sharing. Nice bike!

nice bike. Generator hub on the back wheel?

[Trek420]

I don't think it's a generator hub, internal hub with Shimano STI shifters. This is not my decision to make because it's not my bike but I think it's just crying out for a Brooks with that butter cream color.

Anyone have a late model mixte?
I am in the early stages of shopping for a city bike to use when we camp in more urban areas. We are thinking of a 3 or 8 speed internal hub mixte for me and a single speed as an equalizer for my husband. We would like baskets for shopping and our Jack Russell.
I like the idea of vintage but my husband who is the ultimate handyman in most situations is almost useless when it comes to bikes. He can build a house, do minor car and appliance repair and yet he can barely adjust his bike cables. I don't get it.
I had to take my bike in once to get his fix fixed!

So, is it over the top lame to purchase a new mixte?
