2002 Burley Zydeco
I should take better pictures of this bike. I should also take it out more often, but it means my spouse and I need to be ready and willing at the same time.
It's had many upgrades. It currently has 26x1.4" slick tires which we inflate to 80 psi. I did a major upgrade to build the 3x11 drivetrain. Deore XT rocks with those trigger shifters. The cantilever brakes are all we need for all occasions. We even used this to tow a trailer with a huge load from the hardware store, and we had a few hills!

I post this bike every year. This is the newest photo of it, taken 2 weeks before autumn color covered the mountains.

Yes, Grand Jubile. It's in pretty amazing condition with only a few nicks and almost all the original parts. Needs a new photo, it now has Nisi rims and Campy hubs for a period correct upgrade.

Cheaper build for my brother, all consumables replaced and a new seat, bars, grips, and pedals. With the bike, it was $225 total... and it's red!

Ok. I don't have any of the first generation dopplers, but I do have a few of the second generation, which work pretty well.

This is probably red enough:
Nov. 1985 build date so 1986 Fisher Montare
And this might have enough red to squeeze by:
1985 Peugeot Canyon Express been powdercoated
