Same! My first bike was a bright orange Schwinn Varsity 10-speed, which I, quite literally, would ride all day long, mostly on the trails/woods behind my house. Never heard of a trail bike back in the 70s. I loved that bike. I wonder what happened to it?
Congrats on the new bike! I like it.
My first bike as a kid was orange too (with a glittery banana seat). I loved that bike! I've been partial to orange lately as I just painted my kitchen orange. Congratulations!
Looks good.
The orange is catchy.
My linguist brain is jumping back and forth between "pollo" (the Spanish chicken) and "Apollo" (the Greek god of--you know--whatever he was god of).
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
I think it needs some swept back albatross bars![]()
