What road bike do you have?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I just picked up this Fuji,.... literally. I found it at a garage sale with one snapped deraileur cable, one frozen cable, two flat tires, a rim way out of tru and chain with enough wax lubricant to build a candle. All fixable in one day for $5. After adding the cost of the bike to the parts, I probably spent more on gasoline driving the jeep to pick it up than I spent on the bike. I wish I knew what model it is, the original owner removed the model designation. I have no idea why.

The second pic is pretty huge, but you can scale it down w/ imageshack and post it directly here...if you want. You can either surround the URL with [ IMG ]URL OF YOUR PICTURE[ /IMG ] <---take out spaces, or you can use the 'insert image' button that looks like a mountain. Press the button, and paste the url in the pop-up window...this automatically puts the [IMG] tags around your URL.

my new hotness

Just picked up my Gunnar Roadie yesterday. Built for me by Roy Cervantes of Grace Bicycles in Holliston, MA. Naturally, it's snowing today so I can't ride it. But I open this .jpg now and then and dream of the dry days to come.

I think I'm in lurv.

David

ps - the wheel stickers have got to go! (any removal tips? hair dryer? goo gone?)

Hmm...not that I'm aware of. I just got it from an old man who collects random bicycles. It has an old sticker for a bike shop on the seat tube that has the location as Chattanooga, TN.

Lamplight, I'm certainly no expert on Peugeot bikes. There was a bike that appeared to be almost identical to your Peugeot on ebay. I noticed it because the bike was a local pick-up for me, but I just picked up a Fuji road bike so I was not interested. The paint scheme is what caught my eye. I remember it sold for over $150 plus shipping.

Thanks Bill, you should know eh?

250 miles on it so far. It just keeps getting better and better. Can't wait until I have it dialed in!

How's the Cannondale? Let's see a picture when it's done.

I should mention that by the time I took that picture I had replaced the grip tape. The original tape looked like thin, silver ribbon and it was hanging off on the ends. lol It also came with a big bulky Vetta saddle and some cheap, nylon-beaded tires.

This is my new Paris frame with my old components.

Note the hydroformed tubing.

I rode it today for the first time and it didn't actually feel that much different from my Prince.

The downtube shifters are a good sign on that Fuji. I'd have given a lot more than 5 bucks.

I can't tell from the picture whether the Fuji is welded or lugged. Also, what derailleurs, components does it have.
