Getting you all out of the 30's and into the 80's.

Here is one of my completed winter projects. 1986 Rodriguez. A couple of obligatory pre ride photo's. I now have a fresh batch of on trail photo's to post but my home computer is on the fritz and I don't have any way to download the camera yet. ....

You can't get more American than this!

Can you say Chicago Schwinn 1939 DX?


Made in USA: - Frame, Cooks Bros fork, Bendix 2-speed lever action rear coaster hub, Ashtabula stem, alloy seatpost and Joe Breeze machined handlebar adapter shims. Not to mention custom paint by Alan Bonds.

It's a well and true rider and gets worked up Mt Tam at least once a month!

I can't compete with that. I have wanted that bike since the first time I saw it Alan's site a few years ago. I think you may have missed the sarcasm in my post though

And in a big way, not just USA but Pac NW - way to roll through the redwoods T!

Like me, the Rodreguez is a true thing of beauty.

I am going to get my cat to cast my vote this month as I haven't got a flippin' clue anymore!! Some sweet rides, keep 'em coming.
