    Oh, MAN! I love the Mooneyes bike (the other is super freakin' cool too). Been wanting to get a set of their discs for my stretch, but something else always needs the coin. Where'd you get the smooth sprocket?

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    This is so true. When in Florida, I walked quite a few miles (on sidewalks, keeping right) and cyclists would pass close and seldom have the courtesy to say "On your left" as they approached. Had a few that almost got knocked off their bikes when they startled me and I reacted. It happens here in Michigan as well, but not often.

    Love looking at your classic bikes but when it comes to a serious ride give me the new stuff.

    I ride bikes daily. Even in -30 I use studded tires.

    Been cycling since I was a kid. Still have my 77 schwinn mag scrambler and my 79 schwinn le tour. I’ve done a little mountain biking over the years with my schwinn mountain bike. I’m planning to ride a lot more this Season. I recently bought a fat tire bike. Seems to be great on the trails and real nice on the road.

    Just won this little Bud Light number for the female from my favorite watering hole having a give a way. Drink a Bud Light, get an entry. Drinking beer does pay sometimes..... she doesn't know it yet but I'm stealing the seat and grips for my black bike.....

    I too am a bike freak. I have probably 25 bikes or so. Myself and two of my brothers all worked at the same Schwinn shop. I still have a 77 Scrambler like this. 105ga spokes. Heavy as heck.

    I have probably 10 older Schwinn BMX bikes. Along with other old BMX bikes. This is my rider though. Cannondale Super V 1000. I have five of these. You can pick them up fairly cheap 200-250. They cost 1200ish new. Made In America too. I love the way these ride. Fits me great and I can still bunny hop curbs with it.

    Hard to find a big bike on Craigslist. I'm 6'-4", so most bikes are too small.

    Friend in Orlando had this -- he's about 5'-10", never used it. He got it for free a few years back from a mutual friend who is 6'-5". And he had it stored for 10 years.

    So when he offered it to me, I jumped.

    Been putting 50 miles a week on it since the pandemic started. I sent everyone else in the office home, so I can bike to work without women complaining I stink.

    Me: "I ride 50 miles a week."
    Everyone else: "Then why are you so fat?"
    Me: "$@&%!"

    I get the struggle to find tall bikes. Cannondale's are absolutely one of the best deals usually on Craig's. Hand made in the USA also. Not Taiwanese junk.
