If you want a 700x25c- you might have a deal! I'm a 700x23c type of guy.

I lowered them & flipped the stem, feels a lot better. I'm getting used to the disc brakes, now I'm glad I got them.
may I ask how good a deal you got?

great looking bike.

Sure, it was marked down from $2.6K to $2K. It's no longer on sale. It was a factory sale that I had to bring to the LBS attention to get the deal. Giant

Went out to dinner with my wife tonight. Took the 911. Drove into the garage. Suddenly I was confronted by a herd of bikes! This was my view! Good times!

Was that unexpected or were you drunk and forgot?

Little of both. Sitting low in the car I felt like I was surrounded in some herd of cattle or something. Luckily nothing got scathed!

Ha!
On a side note, I thought Byron was from Cali. Now I'm seeing a Fla. address. Had no idea there were so many cool BMX heads in Fla.

Thanks, my new Bassett pedals (an old BMX brand that has new life) for the 24" Azusa (JMC tribute frame & fork, one of 20 built by SuperCross with Jim Melton's (R.I.P.)
Blessing. One of 2 pair of White bodied pedals

Original Schwinn Cimarron circa 1985:
From the schwinn catalog "New for 1985, the Cimarron is designed from the ground up for the serious off road rider. Top-of-the-line componentry specifically designed for all terrain riding is combined with a lightweight frame and fork that will absorb plenty of shock yet provide many years of back country riding enjoyment and comfort. "




Well- they called the "many years of riding" thing right!
My Version 2016 (I was putting some new cables on it today so I can ride my daughter off the back):

Mine's not really show condition!

Just got back from a 30 mile ride. Here's my bike; 1999 Colnago C-40 with Campagnolo Record 10spd group.

The price isn't bad as it is a bit of a collectors item. It is a big frame! You can see that it was too big for whoever was riding it before.

Downtube shifters can be a bit of a challenge these days if you are accustom to using brifters.

Nice. Looks as it climbs walls like a scalded cat.

BTW: Speaking of climbing, next Sat. is the Dairyland Dare. Not too far of a drive south. I'm entered riding vintage class... steel, tubulars, down tube shifters, sidepulls, cleats with toeclips, hairnet.

I rode a 61cm Specialized Allez the other day and it felt too small. I've got both long arms and legs.
I'm a MTB guy trying to get into road.
