New Bikes!

Well,

It's been a few days since I posted.............So I've had some time to pick some new bikes!

The first one is a Kestrel CSX, made in Japan (ugh) with Spinergy SPOX wheels (I've taken the back one off to true it) I thought I took pictures when I got it, but here it is after it was ridden in the rain:


the front SPOX wheel
 The rear one (W/O cassette)
 The new seat (note dirt)

And the other new one - a Bianchi Ibex (1993) - I got this at the Salvation Arny for forty bucks - It's got the original tires! Pictures before the cleanup:





 It was sixty, but I got a nice discount for buying a bag of coffee!







I cleaned it up, removed the plastic wheel/spoke protector behind the cassette on the rear wheel, oiled the chain and adjusted the brakes - it works fine! After I re-grease the bearings it will ride like new!

So that's it. Biking as usual, close calls almost every day, rainy season already here, same as it ever was.

Bliss!
