Olmo Firenze with white garage door.
Edit: I just noticed the long brake cables. I've shortened them since this picture was taken.

My white bike - a 1997 Trek 730 MultiTrack. Bought it to be my beater bike, but after some cleaning, lubing and adjusting - and customizing - it's become my favorite ride. It's a clean machine.

FWIW, it is now snowing. All the bikes are snug in their beds with visions of sugarplums in their headsets.

Neglected by me for 4 years, paid $35, refurbished last month, but not dialed in. The new Ergo grips are very comfortable on flat bar MTBs.

Found another white one, and not even a Raleigh. My Atala Clunker 100 Challenge contender from a few years back:

About a foot of white outside right now...
But here’s my 1989 Trek 1000. My first aluminum road bike, and I’m liking it. Liking the bright white paint too.
Next steps are dealing with paint scuffs, better pedals, and new tires, preferably in 28... it’s got 25mm now. Anyone know for certain whether 28s will work on these frames? I have some 32s lying around and there’s no way those are gonna happen...
