You only have 2 bikes??!?
Poor guy.
Here's the latest addition to my stable:
Here's the before:
It's an old junker Schwinn World Sport 10speed I "rescued" from a thrift store. Now it's a Fixed gear junker cruiser especial. I stripped it, ground off all the braze-ons,redished the rear wheel, painted it, had to cut the outer ring/chainguard off the front because it was all one piece, repacked the hubs, etc. Bars/stem I got off an old women's Spaulding bike I bought at a garage sale for $5. Now it's Fixed (gear). Rides like a tank, but it's a blast. Hard not to have a smile on your face riding this. Needs a cupholder on the bars I think. In addition to the bars, only purchases: rear cog, paint, tires/tubes from Walmart.
HEY! A guy's gotta have something to do in between rides. Especially when all my other multi-thousand dollar "high-end" bikes never need any work done on them -- I'm not much of a polisher. What's a guy to do?
Maybe I'll take a photo of my garage one of these days for y'all. Including the kids/wife bikes 11 or 12 total.
