bike
did my first ride of the year today on the mountain bike.
I've really got to rebuild my montgomery ward 1935 motobike balloon tire. There's a book on monkey ward and sears bikes I should get, but knowledge aint gonna get it fixed, effort will.
my bikes:
mtn Jamis Dragon 1996 frame (reynolds 853, best steel evar) built up w/ manitou sx-r fork.
mtn Jamis Durango 1996 frame (4130 cromoly, bare, lent parts to above.
hybrid BCA (Ross) Azzuri ten speed Tange 5 tubes (5 is fattest, 1 is thinnest) converted to flat bar. Given to me by dr ex. fun to ride.
road Motobecane (bikesdirect.com, who bought the French brand name) Sprintour, Kinesis 7075 frame, carbon seat stays, full Ultegra 30 spd w/ Ritchey pro stuff. 20 pounds... too heavy.
cruiser Huffy repro converted to 3 speed hub. Had to add a rim brake, ruined the clean look, but needed the 3 speed to get up even mild hills. slow and heavy.
cruiser BCA (again, Ross) cruiser, women's petite size, was 3 speed w/ brakes, now single spd w/ coaster brake from above. Black and chrome, waiting for the woman who fits it.
and the mongomery ward 1935ish 50 pounder.
Someday I'll have a carbon composite road frame... been thinking of building something from bamboo.
