I've got my AO8 disassembled and I've got to replace the handlebars, brake levers, rear derailleur, and saddle. And I need to get the frame painted. I have a couple questions if you I could borrow your expertise. My email is gdwilson001@gmail.com I teach at UCSB.

What are you thinking for your LMD regear? 6 speeds or 12? are you thinking close ration freewheel or a Mega Range?

I'm starting to think about doing another drive train rebuild on the Le Tour, putting her back in geared mode rather than single speed. I have new bike fantasies rattling 'round my head, but I have also been laid off since Thanksgiving and the savings have dwindled to...well, I'm thinking about rebuilding the Schwinn.<br /><br />Life ain't that bad when your happy with what you have.<br /><br />tjTim Joe Comstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351911607475089105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951269325890985284.post-27111314395506179772014-01-28T10:48:09.955-08:002014-01-28T10:48:09.955-08:00Thanks Jim, yes I kind of knew even as I ignored t...Thanks Jim, yes I kind of knew even as I ignored that little voice it was going to come back and bite me...LOL. This bike is in the best shape paint and decal wise of any bike boom bike I have ever worked on. With a coat of wax the Yellow really shines bright. It did sell on the first weekend to a father who bought it for his early teen son to ride on the STP (Seattle to Portland) ride with his pops this year. He said "I didn't want to spend a ton cause he's just going to out grow it in a few years" hoping it provides good service for those few years and I know first hand its much easier to ride the 200 miles to Portland on a road bike with road tires than a Mountain bike with knobbies, although people do it.RoadieRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900109046198641775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951269325890985284.post-42646047150088793102014-01-28T07:48:03.235-08:002014-01-28T07:48:03.235-08:00Ryan, Nice job pushing through the final glitches....Ryan, Nice job pushing through the final glitches. I know that when a project gets close to the end and little problems pop up when you just want to be finished, can be frustrating.<br />The yellow color of this finish is striking and I'll bet it attracts a buyer pretty quickly. Sometimes it is prudent to be listening to the little voices in our heads!!<br />JimJim Bangshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618333090634257257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951269325890985284.post-31589002799960487682014-01-24T08:29:26.746-08:002014-01-24T08:29:26.746-08:00Hey Anniebikes thanks for stopping by, how's y...Hey Anniebikes thanks for stopping by, how's your UO-14 doing? Thanks for the link I love seeing people using lugged French bikes from the 70's and customizing them for their own purpose. I would guess that the Mixte is a UO-18 the "unisex" version of the ubiquitous UO-8 -note the chrome forks, rather than the AO-18, no chrome, which would be the sister to the bike I just finished.
