The latest addition to my "family"...
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 04:27 PM by BiggJawn
It officially carried my ass for the first time at 2:25 this afternoon. Can't wait to get some warmer weather and give it GOOD shake-down...A 1987 Bridgestone "200", 700C by 35mm tyres, Brooks B-17 saddle, many other goodies...

Those fat tyres give a SMOOOOOTH ride!

1. Nice ride...
Although I think that you should get it pimped and right away.

4. You're right!
I forgot to put it's "LIVESTRONG" bracelet on it!

It already sits 1/4" lower than stock because of the 700C wheels...

7. Kind of.
I kept the frame and crank from the original bike, added wheels from a $9 Marin 'cross bike, Shifters and brakes from another $10 donor, and everything else was bought new or "nearly new".
