Thanks. Yes, 1985 Prestige, it's in pretty decent shape, unfortunately it has some flaking chrome on the chain stays. Otherwise the paint and decals are pretty decent. Another one I need to get busy on and put it back on the road.

Just in time for Christmas and this thread, I finally finished up the Grand Record last night. Still some tweaks left but - close enough. From this morning's shakedown ride - not a great pic, the sun wasn't where I needed it to be....

For a long time I wouldn't consider 63cm/25" bikes having found them a bit tall for me. But for some reason lately I've gotten comfortable with them - and here I thought getting older meant trending down in bike sizes, not up.

Phew!
Made it just in time, before Black Bike Month closes down for another year.
Now, what color was January again?

1953 Higgins Trike, black.
Went to upload several pics of this bike and got the following message “You are not allowed to post URLs until you have at least 10 posts”. Will try to share in future if I am successful in complying. All the best to you in the new year. Mark.

We are going to need more pictures of the Rickert Special, those lugs look awesome. I have never heard of them but if this is an typical example of their work they should be more well known.

I got this Fuji last fall from the back room of a local bike shop. It had a rough rattle can finish and homemade decals so I did a full repaint over the winter.
