^^^ parts for a roof rack??

Closest I can figure are an earlier version of yakima "big stack" sticks for kayak boat carriers.
Just a wild guess.

Edit- got it

Tonight- about to go in for the kill on tonight's debut ride of the trash can gravel-trek-shiki whatevertheeff' reveal. Panniers and all! :)

Cool Thanks!! Here is my daily rider I found it on the curb about 15 years ago and it was pretty worn then. Got alot of miles on it now for sure. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691707536.jpg

One other possibility is that it is a adapter to mount a ladies bike on a older traditional bike rack.

If there's one thing I dislike about 911's, is that they've become an attention magnet.

That said, tonight, I had to chuckle, as I was admiring this newer stang' (I REALLY like this newer model- it really does have nice lines :) ),
I liked the color, the sound, the stance, the lines are sexy considering bumper height stuff, etc etc.... I really like it.
I took some pics, only to later realize....

The couple was checkin' out my bike! :D:D:D:D:Dhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1691798936.JPG

Cant' make this #$% up.
Really folks...(Might not photograph well... but) It looks eff'n SWEET in person! :)

I liked the stang! But oh well!!! :)
On to this weekend's adventures!

I'm betting that lady and her man were in a bike shop soon afterwards ;)

I think that is a very cool build, I don't know how you control it at speed with those handlebars but it is a 15 on the cool scale.

LOL- thanks. fwiw- It's sketchy above 25, but, only because I knocked the frame out of alignment when I hammered the chainstays in to get the cranks to fit from years ago. It's got a 102mm campy record bb and a q factor that pedals like road bike bliss, although, Let's say I've got some thrust angle alignment problems causing yaw issues. :D

Gonna try upping my game with this 35 year old book from Amazon:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1694039780.jpg

^Great book. Some of the best info out there on bike training is hidden in some $2 forgotten used book on amazon.

There are some great long distance cycling books from the same time period. Highly recommended. Something about a century, and then a book on riding a double century. I think "The Complete Book of Long-Distance Cycling" is a good one



In other more self gratuitous news- Pimpin my Nishiki. I found it in a ditch. I'm gonna go pimpin' white 1920's style tires and a ****eload of velo orange is coming in the mail. You might have to endure another pic or two of this as things get sorted out.

And finally, the Cimarron, another freeby from the bike store I worked at, thus concluding my "frames were free but the parts are what get ya'" party pace fall line bike collection:

My 1984 Gitane Team Pro that I sold several years ago. Took almost 2 years to find all the correct parts to build it. Had a Bernard Hinault Turbo saddle and LeMond Super Record chainrings as a tribute. Even the TA bolts for the water bottle cages were 'correct'. OCD? :rolleyes::D

My 1985 Gitane Professional, also sold long ago.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1694083755.JPG

I think the water bottle was $125 - NOS original, not a reproduction.

Well ughhh... of COURSE!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

How is that even possible? ;)
