Primary ride:
1986-87 Bianchi Strada, former unloved basement bike acquired as payment for an art job and converted (at West Town! Thanks Alex!) to fixed, with wheels by Marcus at Yojimbos. I have since ground the teeth off the outer chainring to make it into a chainguard.
Cargo and foul weather:
Uglified Bianchi Cortina with taxidermy badger head on the rear rack, and Action Packer trailer.
Future fun-bike, I hope, as soon as I deal with the hoppy wheels. Schwinn Varsity overhauled in West Town's Build A Bike class:
And various other bike projects in states of disrepair and potential awesomeness:
Raleigh step-thru with Sturmey Archer 3-speed hub:
2006 Breezer Villager. Got so pissed at the Nexus 7-speed self-destructing every time I had to change the rear tire, I hung it out to dry:
Totally freakadelic Worksman trike with a home-welded front end (for a wheelchair, maybe?) bought from a cracked-out gentleman for $10. Future art bike extraordinaire...unless someone can identify the former owner...
Yeah. I'm one of those.
