The Racer
With racing season already in it's early stages, I thought it proper to post a pick of my racer bike. Cowbell and I rebuilt the hub. If you get a chance to see the inside of a kick-back 2-speed coaster brake hub, it's worth a look. We almost destroyed it, but it came through ok. CB - I'm still going to get us the Bendix patches...
This bike was made in Chicago on July 3rd, 1962. Same b-day as Tom Cruise, but I don't hold that against the bike. Since this picture, I've added handlebar tassles. That's for speed. You may remember seeing this beauty on the Pub Crawl the last 5 or so years... and, oh yeah.... she's steel.
