My first serious bike was a 1987 Cannondale SR400 and I’ve kicked myself a dozen times for getting rid of it. It was a great bike and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. However, it would have...

Twin folders!

I picked up 2 Marlboro folders today. All original and don’t look like they’ve been ridden. No wear on the chainrings, brake shoes, etc. I paid $50 for the pair....

Fuji & Marin have some options

Take a look at the Fuji Absolute or the Marin Fairfax. Both are decent hybrids from respectable brands for less than $450.

I've read in a couple of these threads that "the cockpit feels a bit cramped." If you've converted a mtb to drop bars, do you find that to be the case? The reason I'm asking is that I have a 1990...

A Hardrock Swing and a Miss

I picked up a 90’ish Specialized Hardrock today. It was listed on Craigslist for $40 and I got it for $35, but wasn’t sure if it would fit me. Unfortunately, it’s way too big; I need a 16” inch frame...

Thanks for the info and education. I’m relatively new to this, too. I’ve got a few old Schwinn lightweights and an English 3-speed. The head tube stamp was something i hadn’t seen before. Love...

Austro-Daimler Project

Just picked up what I believe to be an early 70’s Austro-Daimler AD-S. It looks rough...really rough... but my initial impression is that the frame is still in good shape.
It has a Huret Allvit...

I picked up the Georgena Terry Symmetry this afternoon. The bike was definitely well used, but also seems to have been well cared for. It’s in really good condition and will clean up nicely. ...

Terry Symmetry or Trey?

I'm going to look at a bike this evening that is listed as a "Terry 21 speed bicycle" for $25. It looks to be in good shape and if it's really a Terry Symmetry, it's a steal at $25. However, the...

My wife has been looking at Loops for awhile now, but I've been skeptical. Nice to know that they are decent out of the box and worth putting a little extra time and $ into. Thanks!

I am by no means an expert, but I commuted in Iowa, year 'round, for 18 months. Granted the distance was nowhere near what you're talking about, but I don't think that would change my bike choice. I...

I've been saving up for an 8" telescope, but my daughter is increasingly interested in biking. She's talking about riding RAGBRAI together next year. She'll graduate next spring, so I may not get...
