Here's mine, taking 5 against a tree in Camp Scholler up at Oshkosh a couple of years ago. I'm shopping for a new fatbike now...

At long last my Gitane Pro project is done. Did a shakedown ride today to work some bugs out. Longer ride tomorrow .... so far, so good!

what happened? Ti frames do not break, usually.

Bike was on top of a roof rack.....garage door....crimped headtube! Not mine originally.

Wow, the Gitane is gorgeous!

For the g-kids, I was thinking of converting the cheap aluminum 24 in. atb from Target or wallymart. New bikes are under $100, old drop bars are usually available for nothing and a set of slicks for $40. Would be fun to get them involved on some easy organized rides and intro to road bikes.

Anyone have any background on this photo? Believe that the guy on the far right is an old friend of mine, John Howard...

I have this 1975 Motobecane Le Champion. I bought it new when I worked at the bike shop that sold it to me. I spent many hours riding the bike, and cleaned and greased it every year I rode it. Today, the wheels turn like new. I schlepped it around to all the houses, states, wherever I lived. It's in great condition, all original, have a second set of wheels to go with it, along with a size 11 set of vintage (can't believe stuff I own are vintage) Eddy Merckx Adidas leather bike shoes, and a set of tools that I bought back in the day. Looking for offers, can ship USA of course. PM me if interested.

That's cool! I've never seen a Bianchi BMX before. But I am curious, where are the "minimal insertion" lines on that stem and post?! :eek:

^^^hilarious. Having that would tempt me to ram the door's of ruthless drivers. The disc and derailleur is killer.
