Her frame is only 1020 steel. Some research told me that means plain old steel. The Traveler is CroMo. I'm not sure why the Traveller wound up in the loft. An ex-BF was trying to get me to discard some bikes. I forget how many I had, But I had paid $50.00 for the Traveller at Goodwill, so no way. I was worried that if I lost my bike, I would quickly get out of the habit of cycling. So I guess this was a compromise to keep him off my back. Funny thing was, the cleaned garage started filling up with motorcycle and VW parts . (he did'nt live here. If I am going to have clutte around, it may as well be mine.
This did happen when I got a car, suddenly, I had no time to bike anywhere, or it was raining, or too inconvenient, or whatever.

Now I am down to the two Schwinns, and a mountain bike style bike. I found it laying on a downtown sidewalk, turned it into the police, but it went unclaimed, so I could claim it. It's probably a Huffy-type. I also have a home brew bike trailer that I pulled from a dumpster. One wheel was bent nearly in half. I'll get around to fixing it one of these days.

I miss my Raleigh three speed She was stolen from my yard last year. I would leave her on the side of the house, behind a bush, and she couldn't be seen from the street, maybe someone saw me come home and leave it?

I was so worried about my Traveller last night. I left her at the bike shop and brought the Le Tour home, since I needed the rack, then it got dark and I got lazy. And I thought about her, being only locked with a cable, and in a business area, where there would be no pedestrian traffic. And today at a rummage sale, I locked her tire up. Those few hours of intimate fondling have forged a bond. I was afraid someone would buy her by accident from the rummage sale .
