Here's probably my best riding, most modern bike.

It was being closed out at a local sporting goods store about six years ago.
Not enough speeds for mainstream America I guess.
I paid $80 brand new!
I remember seeing it there months earlier for several hundred bucks and I thought it looked pretty tough.
The next day at work (I work at the daily paper) we ran an ad for that store with a one day only, 25% off coupon.
Could have had it for $60!!! :x
Oh well....that's ok.
It's a great bike!

I added the Madwagon light and the toe clips....I love toe clips now.

V-brakes, fatty Kendas and genny Madwagon flasher.

I rode it regularly to work (14 miles round trip), but I got ambushed by four vato-locos claiming to have a gun on the way home once, so that's off now.
My fault for riding around at 1:00 am, I guess.
They got nothing and I kept the bike.
Scumbags.

The 3-spd Nexus works great!

They don't offer this model anymore.
Bummer.
I'll ride this thing anywhere....on the street...during the day...
It's a keeper! :D

so wait a minute, they tried to take your bike or your blinking light ?
 
Yeah, I'm hip...the hub's like a $125 item, I've seen.
A 7 would have been sweet.
I like how you can change gears at a dead stop.

They got a backpack with a shirt, a coke, a screwdriver and my keys...a little pride...my bike ride.
Life in the big city I guess.
Didn't want to end up on the local news, ya know...and I'm not Chuck Norris.
I gave the cops descriptions of the perps, the car, the plate number...nothing happened...mugging is legal here.
Whatever....that's enough of that.
I kept the blinky light. :D

That's cool to see, Rat Rod!
 
Sweet bike. I hate thugs muggers,and THIEVES. They can all goto heck. :x
