got these two "gems" today at my friends scrapyard.. also got to rip the engine out and drop it on the top of a Nissan hatchback FUN!


homemade fixie that i didn't realize was "modified" until i got it home... someone removed the derailleur, put it on the center sprocket, and shortened the chain... still a cool bike i am fixing for my nephew to get around on

here is my Fuji Grand Tourer. it is my favorite distance bike. Not exactly light by road bike standards, but very stout. I've put approx. 1000 miles on mine, and the only issues I have had are keeping the 90psi 27's from coming off their beads; a typical issue for these tires I'm told. My LBS said they can upgrade me to modern 700's if it gets too annoying, but so far, I have been blowout free for over 200 miles this year. My LBS guy wants first dibs if I ever sell it.

I came across it by chance almost 10 years ago at the Ann Arbor/Saline show. It failed to get a single $40 bid; I missed the auction but saw the owner rolling it back to his spot. After realizing it was fit me perfectly, I gladly forked over $40.

The Velo seat I put on it is actually from a Walmart MTB I bought new in the late 90's. I don't know why, but I really like it over the expensive seats. The original was long gone when I got it.


Yours looks a little worse for wear than mine; I hope you can get some use out of it.

That would be great, thanks! :D If you happen across any Schwinn Lil' Tiger parts (67-80 12" kid's bike,) I could use anything, but mostly need a sissy bar. I'm restoring/mild customizing a 67 in the Builds topic here.
 
Its all good. I don't need any parts for the Fuji right now anyways. The Pixie in the link doesn't have anything I need for the Lil Tiger (The lil tiger is an even smaller 12" bike,) but thank you. If it had a sissy bar, I could probably cut it down to fit.
