[edit:] you know what, screw that. it's a great bike and if you say "beater", i'll beat you.
give me more money and i'll try to add to this list.
[edit:] i forgot that i have a couple other things: 1) a dumpstered huffy santa fe. brown beige and orange. a crappy bike but it could be fun for the whole family. 2) a random no-name black lugged frame.
to add:
-black BCA fixed gear. bought from a guy here in town for $80 three days ago. 170 sakae cranks, shimano hubs laced to sun rims. 40x12. bullhorns. front brake. my first fixed gear. i'm enjoying it.
-white with "blue webbing" (read: splatterpaint) 1991 cannondale SH400. "hybrid" taken from a trash pile down the street. needs new tubes, but other than that, it's a complete bike with all the original equipment, except for the rear wheel, with the addition of a cateye computer. AL frame, chromo fork, paint chipping all over. wierd thru-the-stem centerpull canti brakes. free and sheels are still in decent shape.
