I didn't get a chance to take pics of mine yet. Plus I wanted to get it cleaned up real well first.
The rims are pretty rusted but with some steel wool the chrome under it comes right back. the paint job is still in pretty good condtion as well, I will be replacing the seat because while it is a schwinn seat from about the same time as the bike it's green and red and does not match.
Wait here is exactly what mine looks like. Except my mud guards match the paint job, they aren't chrome.
White wall tires and all!!!
It's amazing how good the chrome on my bike still is. Even the springs on the front basket thingy come right back with a little steel wool.

'Morning.
Went for a ridey ride with MBC, MMcG, and MMcG's chick Saturday afternoon. I got some pics too. Perhaps I'll post some...

Cool - nice pickup stosh.
Sadly, I haven't been on my bike in almost a month... and no signs of that changing anytime soon.
I had a good weekend. Didn't do much of anything Saturday... my wife took her father to the local PGA tournement and my mother watched Emma for a good portion of the day, so I stayed home with Sean and cleaned/puttered around. Sunday I helped my father-in-law pull out the stumps from some recently departed shrubs along the front of his house. Man, that was a lot of work. We split them down the middle with a couple of wedges and a sledge hammer, then hooked them to my truck via a strap and yanked ths **** out of them until they finally broke loose. I can't imaging having to do it all by hand.
Short week for me this week as I have Tues/Thurs off. My wife's back has been bad since Sean was born (and it's only getting worse). Her PT/back doctor says she's got a bulging disk that is about 1/4 of a step from needing surgery. The kids go to daycare M/W/F, so I'm going to stay home Tues/Thurs so she can relax and take care of her back. If at the end of the week there's no improvement, she's probably going to need surgery

I wanted to ride so badly this weekend but the f'ing humidity even in the morning is a killer.jacksonpt said:Cool - nice pickup stosh.

I hope your wife's back gets better, how has Sean been doing?
Gooood Morning.....!
Got married last week.
Yep, I did.
On a boat. With 100 of my closest family and friends. Party of the year, man.
Took off to a little island off the coast of Mexico, just above Cozumel called Isla Mujeras for the honeymoon. Had the time of my life. Got out just before they shut down the airport due to Hurricane Emily. Craziness. Pics to follow later.

Yea... I had hoped to do a road ride (faster speeds = more wind in the face = more comfortable), but it just didn't happen.stosh said:
Sean is doing well. We can't seem to get his eating/sleeping schedule down. Saturday night he was up until about 11, then work up at 4 wide awake. Last night, he slept from 10:30 until 6:30.stosh said:
Needless to say, we need more of teh 10:30-6:30 nights and less of the 11-4s.
'morning everyone. Did a last minute trip to Cape Cod this weekend and had some nice beach time and spent some time with my dad and stepmom. Got a little sun and relaxed - a good weekend 
Also received my box that I ordered... in it, was 1000 ft. of Cat5e network cable, a set of crimpers, 150 cable ends, and a network cable tester! Woo hoo. It was all pretty cheap, too, and I figure 1000ft is about a lifetime supply

do you have a project in mind or something?binary visions said:'morning everyone. Did a last minute trip to Cape Cod this weekend and had some nice beach time and spent some time with my dad and stepmom. Got a little sun and relaxed - a good weekend

Saw some neighborhood kids riding around on some of those dept. store chopper bikes this weekend. They looked like they were having fun until the realised they couldn't pedal the 50lb monsters up any real hills because they are basically singlespeed recumbants. There aren't any flat roads any where near the neighborhood.
Well, I'm moving to the new apartment so I figured I'd need at least 100ft. of it, but no, no particular project for the enormous amount I bought. It's just dirt cheap to crimp your own cable, plus you can customize your lengths. If you're willing to crimp your own (that's a big if; it is a bit of a pain), paying for pre-done cable is stupid, it's a LOT more expensive.stosh said:
At the price I paid, the cable was literally almost free - the value of the other parts (crimpers, tester, connectors) add up to more than the cost of the box.

Yikes! I hope she is able to relax and get that fixed. My mother had surgery for a herniated disk in her neck/back and it wasn't pleasant. Good luck!
Congratulations!!!! I'm looking forward to seeing some of these picsGreyhound said:
Morning all! We were out at the in-laws in the Rochestar area this weekend. Managed to ride with the Jackalopes on Saturday and then off to celebrate Instigator's birthday Saturday night. Friday night we had a bonfire with some friends and Sunday we did the family thing and lounged around for hours in the pool and playing horseshoes at my in-law's house. All-in-all a good weekend.
Stosh: nice new ride

I'm looking for a pimp cushy white seat.
So true! It's just another dumb fad. A family down the street from me always buy into the latest wave of crap. They have a couple of those cheapo pit bikes (one chopper styled one, and one sport bike styled one) just rusting in the front yard.Westy said:
I am very interested to hear about Dalton Doug's 24 hour race this past weekend. Where is that slacker???
Greyhound, congratulations on the marriage!!

Waiting for the rest of my gear and armor to come in. Been way to hot to ride here in the Richmond area, heat index of 105+ 
I decided to sell of some of my musical equipment. In ear monitors and an acoustic guitar amp in case anyone was interested. Uneventful weekend.

Morning! Did a good mtb ride yesterday, and a nice long swim Saturday.
Good Morning Stosh!
Saturday went riding along the coast. Yesterday caught up on housework. Going to go find some coffee now.
Have a good day!

That's cause you have all these bikes but you never ride them....stosh said:Thanks man I picked it up for $50!!
You should have seen my friends and family's faces when I told them I bought ANOTHER bike.
GM!
Did a great WET ride with Skookum, trailhacker, and Oly on Saturday! Everyone seem to have a few spills on the 8+ mile downhill....I crashed 'female area' first on my top tube
Sunday BBQ'd with some friends and sat on the couch with an ice pack

morning all. Had another weekend of drinking, with a little riding thrown in. I won my new fork on bay. I'm getting a brand new marzocchi all mountain a3. I got it for under $300, hoping to have it in time for MF. Also bought a home theater in a box. Might ride tonight but thunderstorms are threatening. Should be riding all this week with my buddy's wife since she's a newbie.
