I am an avid cyclist, Baynative, but to your video clips I just say “DAMN!”

Sorry, Guys. It was ETL’s video clip wrecks that are so horrid to watch, not yours Baynative.

BTW, thanks for leading this thread Baynative. The Tour should be interesting again. It’s just my opinion, but I think the racing is cleaner than it ever has been, and better for it. (I know, I know . . . the occasional positive tests and banishments show that there is still some doping going on in the peloton.)

I ride a lot too. But not with a racing or road bike, but rather a vintage 1966 Schwinn Sting-Ray I picked up about 2 months ago. I’ve since added a chrome Springer suspension fork to it, as well as a new, thicker, better cushioned banana seat. The bike now looks very much like the Schwinn Grey Ghost of the “Krate” series of Schwinn chopper bikes.

The Krates, such as Orange Krate, Lemon Peeler, Apple Krate, Pea Picker, Grey Ghost, etc, today, go for $3,000-5,000, if in mint condition.

This is the Schwinn Grey Ghost. There is one on eBay with a current bid of $4,250.
