Nice and warm yesterday while riding Chrome Molly here at Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The Boardwalk is about a mile long and has little traffic as it follows the coastline.
I snuck in a good test ride after finding a longer seat post to swap out on JC Piggins. I wanted more comfort from the brick hard seat & tried raising the sissy bar to the highest position. It gave me a better pedaling position & was able to slide forward a bit where there's a little more padding. Made a big difference!
It kinda helps balance out those ridiculous ape hangers too! While riding, it looks to actual scale of a kid on a 20".
I rode Maurice on Saturday but didn't take pics. Too busy rockin', ridin' & having fun! Since being asked to lead the Old Bikes Club next month I've declared it "Ape-ril" & encourage everyone to ride their ape hanger/high rise bar equipped bike. Don't have one? You have a month to build or borrow one for the ride!
I caught the blast from the snow storm rolling in on my way home & the upright position turned my back into a sail! Especially when my hoodie flipped up. This bike is a blast to ride! I have more options to try out in the weeks ahead. Mr. Piggins may end up with a late 60's update in the end......

I never took a ride of any length on the 1901 Mixte. After changing the bars and airing up the tires, away I went. It's got a good cruising gear, 52/18 with 27" wheels. 79 Gear inches, no uphill for me.
The 27" wheels look huge next to 26" wheels.

And my Cannondale with some knock off Jones H “style” bars. My new go to old man bicycle for longer rides.

That casette is perfect for the Nishiki, looks sooooo goooooood on there
Thanks dude! That bike went thru a change recently and I added that cassette cause it fit the bike perfectly.
Good morning Good Friday. 30km to the bay on the '82 Malvern Star.

Rode my buildoff bike to get a few decent daytime shots a couple days ago... been raining off and on since.
Today it was time to put some (protest) miles on my new ride and show off another hidden feature, the "underfloor lights"
I rode one more time with the group RespectCyclists through Berlin and @camus joined as well.
You can see us riding along at 00:25 and 00:45 in the video of the linked mastodon post
