Nishiki Citi Sport Upgraded

I restored and updated this bike for a friend of a friend. Its a stepthough frame., 3x7 gearing, about 54cm. I put on new Shimano EF-51 shifter/levers, new chain, new cables/housing, fresher grips, better used rear D, and new Shimano V-brakes front and rear. Considering the bike didn't shift, and had cantilever brakes prior to my work, I'd say I'v done good.

All told it was $130 for the restoration.

1980 Fuji s12s

This One I found at a thrift store in rather good shape. I found original Dia-come levers with the "Fuji hoods still intact. I put on some new cables, a new chain, and new/used tires with new tubes. Fresh gray bar tape and a good cleaning and she is ready to go.

The frame is 57cm seat tube and top, 332 chrom-mo steel

SOLD on eBay for: $180

1991 Updated Ladies' Specialized Rockhopper

-new bottom bracket
-new shifters, Shimano trigger finger
-new cables/housing
-new v-brakes -new chain
-new seat -new grips
-new "Country Rock" tires

Basically its set to go an other 20+ years with proper care. Only the Shifting and braking is better then it was NEW.

The Trek 2.0

After my trek was stolen I spent a good 2 weeks morning. During that process I searched in vain on Craigslist for my Trek. One post I clicked on was one for a 1984 Trek 560, 54 cm. VERY close to my own year and size, however this one was black and had its number code (560). Somewhat let down I continue to read, it's made in America, has suntour cyclone components, and is indeed just the right size for me. So, I got a ride to Santa rosa, and payed almost 3 time my original trek's price (emotional buy), $260 for my new everyday road bike. A month later and I have around a grand into this replacement, and it's quite spectacular.

Fairwell to The Trek

for 2 years now, my co to road bike, my most beloved commuter had been my 12 speed 1984 Trek (what i think is a 500) It was pail blue, had superbe levers and rear D, a Topeak rack, and Ol' Schwalbe marathon tires. I learned how to build a wheel with this bike, and I forever fell in love with down tube shifters (DTS). I had something like 3000 miles on the computer as of May, 20th 2012 .....when they cut my lock. Don't know who, but around 8 pm that night, The Trek was taken along with my: helmet, lock, 5000 mile brooks b.17, and any trust I have ever had for humanity. so if anyone know anything about my flagship bikes whereabouts.... please, I'd do anything to get it back.
