The 7 year C&V update : Bridgestones, 650b Portage, 3Rensho
hello C&V it's been 7 years : i had a kid, sold most of my bikes before moving from brooklyn to portland OR . been slowly building back up the stable of bikes . included are : 1993 Bridgestone XO-2, 1985 Raleigh Portage 650b, 1985 Miyata 1000, 3Rensho Super Record Export 650b, Colnago Superissimo. the wife’s bikes are a trio of small Bridgestones: 1994 RB-T, 1992 XO-2, 1988 T700 650b
it felt mildly sacrilegious doing a 650b conversion on the 3Resnho but it gets lots of riding setup like this and i can always convert back easy enough to the original in the future.
lots of great deals out here in the PNW. also terrific deals on C&V parts on craigslist and at the local bike co-ops.

I'd probably poke you in the ribs for doing that to the 3Rensho, but otherwise that's a versatile stable of bikes that will see many fun places. Cheers.
Do you have a rig for the kiddo?

Welcome back! We've got several Portlandia members, when the weather/pandemic improves we should put together a ride. I'm in the nether regions of SW Portland (Garden Home).

They’re all beautiful but the Portage is the one I like best in the photos. It looks like such a great traveler. Thanks for the 7 year update.

Kids can certainly change your ability to ride for awhile. Good to see you came back to it.
Love the purple XO-2, perfectly set up.
