BOBCFL: 1987 Trek 560

Oh boy, just realized I could capture entire webpages in a screen grab.  Now we're cook with gas.  And how fitting for it to be a this beautiful Trek Pro Series.  I've always loved the seat cluster on this bike, those fastback stays are killing me.


Another always wanted bike for me, another fair price.  Someone's going to be happy with this beautiful US frame.

Edit: It appears the compression is pretty bad, I'll have to do this another way...

BOBCFL: Trek 970

I've been real busy because I got back into college on the last day of add/drop, but I do have a couple good ones saved.

For now, heres.... this?

It comes with the baby seat.  A steal at $65...

/i'll be back

A Thing of Beauty

VO's new Grand Cru Cassette Hub...  with 4 large cartridge bearings

I am in awe, these are beautiful.  Just LOOK at them.

No price or date yet

I would in a heart beat

Been watching his shtick for over a decade now...  he still gets me

VO's AWESOME New Stainless Fenders

http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-camper-racks.html

Really just go and check em.  No price but I don't care! I can't wait to try out that rear rack.  I know a bunch of people rocking the VO fenders and rims and everyone seems to love them.  I've hesitated because:
1) I didn't need any of the parts they were making before
2) I'll admit I'm wary of new companies with production based across the pacific.  It's not a racist thing, I just know it's super hard to have a first generation of products that don't have some defects (thinking of car manufacturing, cycling components, computers, etc etc).  Just like making waffles, the first batch rarely comes out right.  Now that it seems like they're established enough to be adding on tooling for their rims so I'm ready to take the plunge!

Can't wait for these!!!11  But don't rush em VO!

PS.  Will they come in any other finish than high polish?  We will have to wait.  I think these will complement my Surly Nice Rack up front which is gun metal grey.  But that doesn't affect my decision, the design of these looks too air tight to get caught up on aesthetics!

BOBCFL: 1984 Gitane Grantour

Here's a really interesting one.  I didn't know Gitane made any touring bikes although it isn't that surprising for 1984.  For $300, this apparently well loved bike (you don't add cross levers to just anything) should go.  But it is French... meh for that awesome head badge, I don't care!

BOBCFL: Custom Tondu

Here's a unique one.  Irredescent paint, awesome seat tube cluster, builder's bike!  Plus the campy 9 speed don't hurt none :)

All and all worth every penny if you ask me!
