My "new" vintage bike

This is Lucky, the $25 Univega Viva Sport circa 1980 that I had
converted to a single speed commuter. I'll use her for trips to
the gym or library or deli. She's got new brakes, new Armadillo tires, a
new handlebar, and all new cables. Her gear is 17-43.


other sizes: small original auto

Now this is a real bike, this is what a proper bike should look like.When I was a schoolboy riding about 15,000 miles a year, my bike looked exactly like this.

Ahaha,- a red colored, two wheeled, calorie burner. Nice catch.

Excellent Gary. Good idea to get a vintage bike to match your age! LOL.
I know you'll get great use out of it.

Looks like a great paint job and new saddle too.

I'm envious that you are afforded the weather to ride your bike. It hasn't been snowy in Buffalo but cold and rainy. Road my bike on Christmas eve, Christmas and New Years. Nice kicker bike you have there.

Red is the only colour to have for a bike.
