To me a vintage bike is a the only way to go. They have a soul and spirit of their own. <br /><br />S.A.M. looks fantastic. Wipe the frame down with an oily rag occasionally, the paint will shine and the rust will be kept in check. I do this with my old Raleighs on a regular basis.<br /><br />Aaron2whls3spdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16954543886269776858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-65396135947842984152010-03-02T11:36:26.668-08:002010-03-02T11:36:26.668-08:00I love the battle scars SAM has.

I am very drawn to the idea that this bike has taken a lot of people to a lot of places over a long period of time and is still in use. It is a way of telling people that, yes!, a bicycle is a form of transportation and that it is not a new idea.Adrienne Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16658593098911314756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-90161578694514218552010-03-02T05:29:54.379-08:002010-03-02T05:29:54.379-08:00yah, i agree with emma j. i'm glad ade is ridi...yah, i agree with emma j. i'm glad ade is riding around on SAM. my bici #2 is the same deal. (sorta, SAM is MUCHMUCH nicer....) chipped yellow paint, amongst other less desirable things on the bici, makes it seem more like if you have the desire to ride, you will ride. accessibility is KEY.calitexicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257014894653568163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-3607973311508798202010-03-01T16:25:29.796-08:002010-03-01T16:25:29.796-08:00"find on Craigslist" I meant to say."find on Craigslist" I meant to say.Emma Jhttp://imaginarybicycle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-64644762803033815862010-03-01T16:24:04.739-08:002010-03-01T16:24:04.739-08:00And the other really wonderful thing about riding ...And the other really wonderful thing about riding an old bike (esp one that makes old look this good) is that it makes biking look that much more accessible. My one regret about the Oma is that the price tends to dampen other prospective riders' eagerness. <br /><br />Makes me almost wish I'd been able to find a big enough framed step-through for my height.<br /><br /><br />But SAM looks great.Emma Jhttp://imaginarybicycle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8810099708146569685.post-73886789754249250092010-03-01T16:14:05.992-08:002010-03-01T16:14:05.992-08:00I used to build up these "moto bacons" a...I used to build up these "moto bacons" at a shop in San Rafael called " wheels unlimited" .
