Yet Another Bicycle

I've been looking at too many pictures of Retrovelos.

So when this bike hit Craig's List, I had to get it.

I intend for this one to be my Child-transporter, so I'm not sure how many or what combination of gears I want on it. I suspect I'll be leaving both chain rings, and maybe just keeping it at a ten-speed for now. Nothing like hauling a 20-pound kid and 30-pounds of groceries to make you wish you had gears. Now you can see why I've been drooling over the Bakfiets.

Anyways, here's pics.

Sweet dude, I like your new interest in retro cycles...looks like you've got the bike too!

Yeah, I got it for a cool $70. It has all kinds of nice amenities, like the bolted wheels, so i don't have to worry about the quick theft. Also, it has cool lugs on the forks...

It is a bit pieced together, but I look forward to working on it!
