It's such a beautiful day today -- thought I'd take the Peugeot out and take an updated photo of it.

You, sir, are a man of excellent taste. I have a Peugeot Orient Express I rescued from a garage sale years ago. It is a fantastic bike—best fifty bucks I ever spent!

So I posted this in the thread "self portraits", now Bicycles, and I see there is one for reflections and shadows...

I did a 'mini' tuneup on this 1969 Schwinn Varsity 10-speed for a friend of mine. I love the classic lines of this bike -- I know the women's frames aren't traditionally as desirable as men's frames, but I think with the way many current bike frames are designed, they almost have elements of these older framed bikes. Nowadays, I don't think these bikes are considered exclusively for women.

Nice thing about this particular bike is that I got everything working (including the speedo) and it's the perfect city bike. I gave it a good scrubbing, removed all the ugly electrical tape holding down the wiring for the lights, waxed the frame, cleaned and polished some of the components, and I think it now looks super. Just needs the rear reflector, and I'm going to change all the wiring for the lights to brown.

OMG Vince, that's my Mom's exact bike, save for the speedo. She bought it in 1971 and rode it for years. That brown metallic paint was gorgeous. Even had the same orange gumwall tires on it (although hers were cracked very badly). The generator for the lights rubbed on the tires and I think helped contribute to the cracking.

That's really cool.

Best,

Just finished reviving this 1950 Western Flyer Super. It was quite a greasy, dirty, grungy mess, and required a total teardown. Everything scrubbed clean, polished, regreased and adjusted. The only things I had to replace were the tires (beautiful US Royal Chain Tread) and tubes, a few screws and nuts here and there, and a longer seatpost for me. It's missing its rear turn signal lenses and the tank-mounted turn signal switch, but hopefully I'll be able to figure something out. Horn works, headlight not currently working. Rides beautifully.
