Ugh... I cant get into the straight spoke wheels. I guess I'll stick with my old rusty Schwinn Lemon Peeler. Yeah! Chics dig guys on bikes!
Really I'm into vintages bikes. I'm looking for a first year or early 80's vintage Specialized Mountain Bike.

Lemo Peeler
Fish a pink 1984 Specialized Stumpjumper Team made from crom-moly Prestige tubing would be a nice relic to have, them ugly ol' Ubrakes or the Suntour rollers were magnets for muck, back then if you rode a Pink bike you better be fast. The Stumpjumper just wasn't a new bike it brought on a whole new sport..
Still have an old Bontrager fork that I speced on a bike I built in 1986 ,it had71/71 head and seat angles, sloping down tube, short chain stays, 15 and1/2 " high bottom bracket with a bash guard and bash plate, white 225 Bullseye cranks, Mtn tamer quad allowed you to use 4chainrings 16/28/42/52 and the on the rear 12-38 so a 16 X38gave us a 12"gear
Fish don't know if you have a copy of the book StumpJumper 25 YEARs of mountain biking if you don't I have a copy you can have

Sixbanger how bout a Orvis' Retro 1955 Scwhinn Deluxe 7
This is a super nice bike has the traditional feature but upgraded to modern specs, has the springer front fork, 7 speed, the motorcycle lookin gas tank the wide fenders and the wide front fender with a headlight., coaster brakes, two tone paint job blk/white, white walls, and alot of chrome. Comes completely built up. They're asking $925 at Orvis'. Guys like chic's on bikes we like em alot! It's a shame bicycle outfits have changed over the years they outta ban lycra and get back to the basics I'd probably ride more often..
