I rode 100 miles in 12 hours on a beautiful May day in 1989 atop my 54" 1885 Rudge Light Roadster.

It was made in Coventry, England and I purchased it it 1987 from a fellow club member in Concord, Mass.

I have ridden it at IVCA Rallys in England, Scotland, Holland, and Belgium.

The pub crawls are the best!

I still ride it as often as I can. It is a real rush if traffic!

Also some close ups of my wheel.

Cheers! Richard

This is my joy and pride: my brandnew mountainbike. I'm completely in love with it. I never had a mountainbike before, and this one is just marvelous.

Tell us something.: From the land beyond beyond. From the time past hope and fear. I bid you, Genie, now appear! Well, the Genie did not appear but the notification to type at least 100 characters did so I am back and typing some more as you, if anyone actually sees this, can probably tell.

Now this is a bike!

A J.C. Penney.

Notice the custom features such as the bungee cord to keep the kickstand up and the fine Corinthian leather seat cover. :lol:

I keep this off the mountain trails so as not to embarrass anyone. (Me)

I already posted this on the Sheldon Brown memorial thread, but now that this thread's been resurrected I'll show off my old Davidson:

Image

Custom frame from 1979, when Bill Davidson was still working out of his garage down in Kent, Washington. This is a working bike: used for commuting and running errands mostly, but last summer (when this picture was taken) I took 11 days off to pedal down to McMinnville, Oregon and back on my epic Tour of Pacific Northwest Aviation Museums.
