LOL 80 miles aint nothing for a bike. Im sure it was worth it. I drive about 80 miles to meet with friends to just go ride. The fixation of nostalgia and rust is like a drug.

Picked this up at the NJ shore over the weekend for 75$. Beat out the guy who wanted the owner to meet him half way. Some finds are just worth the gas $. In the end my wife loves her swell looking Columbia fire arrow.

You can go to any AutoZone auto parts shop and pickup a small can of herculiner. I used the same textured paint on alloy pedals b4. Stuff works great.

lol im 6'2" and ride my roadmaster 20 bike with no problem. I dont think my wife at 5'4" will have a problem. As a matter of fact it feels more comfortable kinda like i have a seat leaning back in a car when I ride my 20".

So I found this in a basement during a cleanout. Its a Roadmaster rainbow. My wife now wants me to change it all up and get it going so she can use it.

Ever since I joined this site I fell in love again with the freedom and simple joy a bike ride can bring. It has seriously landed me in many thoughts of my childhood bike riding days. So Im curious what is your bike of the past you miss and why?. If I could magically have my 1992 blue...

I took the old dry rotted rubber off my pedals and sprayed them with textured bed liner paint. they are now black and splatter red.
