Got this bike out today. Did about 5 miles along the river.

I'm really digging those vee-shaped handlebars!

Those are called tiller bars. It's a gentlemanly upright riding position and is pretty comfortable.

65 degrees in Denver today, hard to beat. Did about 15 miles on this old steed

The packed gravel/dirt paths in this open space park are so nice to cut through. It's the turf these bikes were made for.

40 miles on that thing is bragging rights. Nice.

That's a nice lookin' bike! Mine tall bike has a funny bent bottom tube...Gotta do a long ride with you sometime if I ever get out to Colorado. Your urban/industrial area camping trip sounded like a lot of fun. I tried a 500 miler last summer but only did 150 miles of it over 3 days of riding. I wonder if you could make a spring loaded drop stand catch that bolts on via the axle instead of the Vampire killer on the back? Not that it's a bad thing...I just like to think of different ways to do things.

40 miles all the time. It's a quick, comfy ride. 26 teeth up front and 9 in the back. It's one of the best riding bikes I've ever had. The tall frame fits me better (5'11") and the cockpit feels nice and roomy.

Brian,
I agree and broke some of that homemade stand holder doing some off-roading. I think I'll get this one a rack and mount the stand to that. It's a great commuter. The past couple of weeks I've been riding this one. It's good too, lighter feeling and even taller, but I really like the upright riding position on the '34. Also, there's original blue paint under the think black bomb job. I'm going to try the goof-off paint removal method a guy on the CABE demonstrated.
And, please get in touch if you make it out here. We've got lots of extra gear/bikes for camping. I'll get some photos up when we camp next time.
