I was able to dig up some pics from the run up the Great North Rail Trail (I think it is called). Pastor Bob led Prowler and myself on a cool adventure.
In the bike's recent (circa. 2011) quasi-retrograde phase.

Any maintenance going-on for it, this winter?
Since you asked... For the run up Cadillac it was more or less like you see in the "Boston 100" pic above and as it is now, a stripped road bike. Most of the mods are upgrades I made long ago. Sugino Maxy crank w/48-32 rings, Suntour FW, Suntour VGT-Lux derailleurs w/Simplex DT levers (which I installed in place of the original stem shifters about 1973), MKS pedals w/ clips&straps, SR alloy bar with the original headset and AVA stem, alloy Simplex seat post, WTB Speed V saddle, Shimano 600 hubs (the original version), 27" Sun M13-II rims w/32mm Panaracer Tourguard tires, the original Mafac brakes but with newer pads, and of course the bottle cage and pump.
No maintenance planned but it could use some cleaning!
