Winter Projects Re-re-re-re-visited

[beenridin]

Finished up the 1989 Honda CR250R I got from evomx244 last year. Just need to put fluids in it and take it for a spin.......
New Bridgestone tires & tubes, o-ring chain & sprockets, Rebuilt 1990 Forks, Coppersmith built Ohlins shock, NOS Honda Clutch cover and waterpump seals, rear rotor, new brakes, bars, controls, cables, plastic, FMF Fatty pipe and silencer, etc.....
I think it came out pretty nice.

I raced an 88 for 2 years all over California - my favorite bike ever!

Here is the pipe and silencer I had made for my 82 RM125. Dave Miller made it. He was the owner of DMC and use to make pipes for R&D Suzuki back in the day. Wasn't cheap, but what a work of art.

Very nice and good to see Dave building things for our bikes still.

Wow- that's a beautiful pipe!

Not a motocross bike but a 2 wheeler and a winter project.

Far from top of line and heavy but what I could afford new in 1980. Searched EBAY and other sites for NOS bottom bracket, bearings, races, freewheel, and chainrings. Frame off with new cables, chain, tires, etc. Learned a lot.

My college transportation for a while, shot at by Texas ranchers, snubbed by De Rosas, Cannondales and Pinarellos, plus veteran of quite a few early 80's triathlons across North Texas.

My PV 125 is definitely not worthy. Time to leave it in the barn?

I always dreamed of having a Colnago or Pinerello, wound up with an 80's Guerciotti GA Aluminum with Campy Choros Gruppo. I still have it, I will snap a pic of it later.

I restored a bike this winter too! It's how I got my start in the dirt years ago!

Since this turned into a bicycle thread, here's mine that I bought new in 1976. Tore it down to the frame last winter, greased everything, and laced up some clincher rims to get rid of the tubular tires. Rode it a few times, and realized I don't like riding on the road anymore lol.

 

[NQ1965]

I've got a early 90's Cannondale 3.0 road bike. Bought it off coworker for $50 a few years back.
I'm wearing that sucker out and don't have time to restore it.

The parts list since I bought:
Crank bearings
Front and rear tires
probably 5 tubes
Handlebars ( stress broke them right at the clamp )


This is an internet pic, but the same as mine.

And that would be your guitar chord chart poster hanging on the door. (Like minds think alike )

Re: Bicycle rides

Amtrak's Capitol Limited has 8 bicycle spaces. Runs from DC to Chicago. Last Friday morning
we (four of us) caught it in Clevo and rode to Toodelido. Then rode our bikes back on the North
Coast Inland trail (mostly). Great fun, boy got frostbitten fingers but nothing major. 150 miles
in three days.

Got to the truck in Clevo Sunday about 3PM. Next time we're going to PIT and
riding back, probably June.

The airbnb we rented in Elmore OH was excellent, bar and good restaurant within 50 feet.
Bartender that was showing off her new tattoos that were in personal places.

 

[beenridin]

Wow that sounds like fun

 

[evomx244]

one my favorite bicycles (Bianchi) at the time this was taken I was leading both the cat 3 Kentucky and Ohio series. I won the Ohio series, I killed them in 06 at 41 years old.



My Klein was killer also

How did we go from looking at sweet bikes and unbelievably cool cone pipes to butt-sniffing spandex wearing bicycle pics?

Back on track people!

Picked up a 91 RM80 around the corner for cheap, currently down to the frame for restore, hoping to sponsor a kid this summer at some old bike races.

Haha... Wondered how far it would get before someone busted it up. See what you started DanO!

Accusing me of being a cyclist would be a desperate stretch, but I ride the hell out of my bike and do a lot of hill work. It's great cardio maintenance for GP and Moto racing!
