My bicycles

These are group shots of my bikes that either run, or are theoretically only fixing a flat tire away from being rideable. I could probably build a few more with the spare parts I've got lying around.

This green GT mountain bike was left in a friend's basement by an ex-housemate. I didn't charge them to haul it away.

I traded a used road bike for this mountain bike. Unfortunately it never "fit" me very well. Note the high rise bars, they make it more comfortable to ride. I mounted it on rollers on the theory of using it for a stationary exercise bike. I'm using the front rim on the GT for the road wheels.

I call this bike the Heavy Cruiser. I bought it in Singapore. It was made in China and is a Venus. Note the rod and lever action brakes. It weighs 47 pounds. Unfortunately, I was never able to buy a sidecar for it.

When the cheap folding mountain bike I bought in Singapore broke, I bought this GT Arrowhead from a kid in a bike shop. I've got pictures of this bike all over the place: Singapore, Malaysia, Canada ...
I've got it kitted with two sets of wheels, one with dirt tires and one with road tires. The wheels with the dirt tires are the ones that came with it.

I bought the Trek used because I could never quite get the Legnano sorted out. It had all the features I needed and wanted, but just doesn't feel as good as the Legnano. In July 2005 I put the mustache handlebars on it to make it more comfortable to ride.

Vita is a Legnano. An Italian brand that they stopped making in the mid sixties, but which seems to have been brought back. I rode the Davis Double Century on this bike in 1981. I put the TA triple crankset on it in the fall of 1980. Unfortunately I didn't get it in time for the Fall Century (actually a metric double), which I rode, without training, and without a front deraulier. I was never able to find a Legnano seat post clamp, so I schlock engineered one.
