Should have taken a pic of my 80's vintage Schwinn World leaned against the fence as I walked home for the 2nd time this year with a flat tire!
Guess I need to start carrying some tools and a patch kit! Jon, great shot of your son living dangerously!

Just started riding again this year. Turned 60. Thought this might slow down the clock.

Better be an old coaster brake hub.. as there are no rim brakes.

Hey, I have a bike.
Usually these come with a motor...
CF frame courtesy of Bianchi via ebay started me down a slippery slope. Assembled piece by piece about 4 years ago with Record titanium + some other CF stuff. 14lbs without tools etc. If we had 32 hour days and 64 week years, I might be a better rider.

RBMann, what's the story on the bike stand? I assume it's NOT mounted to the bike?

You never seen one of those stands? We used to have a bunch of them. The only downside is they rubbed the paint/decals below the bottle cage. When I was very young I could ride the BMX bike on one like a no resistance trainer. Boing boing boing...

Those crafty Germans are at it again, how cool is this a gearbox for a bicycle! This has got to be the coolest cycling innovation I have seen since suspension. Fricking brilliant!!! I predict this is our future!

I bet it shifts clunky and has to have the splines greased...

Looks nice but the hardtail in the top picture is over 25.5 pounds.
On my side I got back to more serious mountain biking this year since I bought a cottage near Mont Ste-Anne. I bought that last Friday. Carbon fiber frame, seat, seatpost, bars and stem. Carbon fiber rims as well. 29" wheels of course. 22.25 lbs. Sram XX. Love it!
