Post #25 , early shot with 27" wheels and original drivetrain.
Now repurposed as the graveler; therefore, 46/30 rings and 33mm knobbies.
Will have to edit with a newer pic.

No pictures because my bikes only occasionally get a name starting with "F"; usually during maintenance issues.

Bikes: Wow, where to start? A collection of 1980's and early 90's road, touring, and MTBs from the likes of Trek, Schwinn, Cannondale, Fuji, Miyata, Univega, Panasonic, and GT. It has gotten rather out of control.

Looks like I missed the Fuji thread.
Last week I repacked the headset bearings on my 1979 America. As far as I know, the balls and grease that were in there were original. 40 years is a reasonable preventative maintenance cycle for an unsealed bearing that gets used in the rain, right? The races seemed to still be in good shape.
I've also got a Feather. Being a 2016 model, it's hardly "vintage", but I'll post it here anyway. The handlebars are old Nitto B115s, at least!

Gone but not forgotten, both my little 500A Flandria and my buddy Mark to whom I gave the bike for his little nephew.
