1st Annual STR Vintage Bike Happening

Oh crap Pee Chees!

Did everyone else doodle on that. I think I spent all of 8th grade Algebra drawing on that folder.

 

There's a vintage ride?

 

anyone up for a pre-lap? say 730ish? just a thought...:?:

 

whoa- just got off the phone with my dad- I might have a 2nd or 3rd year Specialized Cactus Cup jersey to throw into the fray.

oops! sorry for re-railing the nostalgia trip!

"no thanks" from me- i'll be amazed if my olde bike makes one loop :lol:

edit: is the godfather joining us? I'd like to throw him $40 for my widget.

 

Maybe. That's AWFULLY early to get up on a weekend though! #-o Send me your digits and I'll call you in the AM to let you know if I'm on my way!

I'm in the middle of cleaning up my frame right now but I'm getting burnt out. Polishing by hand with no bike stand is ANNOYING! It does look pretty darn good though. :bang:

 

Ladies & gentlemen, I'm screwed. I have my '88 Univega Range Rover -18 all pretty lookin' and one of my best customers called this afternoon..........

........We made them two 14-foot long linear bearing shafts with 18 pairs of holes drilled into the shaft with each pair being 15-degrees off center. No problem - a perfect job (until they tried to install). It seems Mr. Engineer made a VERY big mistake on the drawing. All of the 3/8" drilled holes were supposed to be 5/16"-18 tapped holes.#-o

If anyone would like a lesson (or 72 consecutive lessons) on how to helicoil a hole, here's your opportunity.

Yeah, they were cool and let me have until tomorrow at 3pm to finish - so we're pulling some late and early hours. How nice.....

John, maybe give the flag to Gene or another 'Loop regular and I'll pick up later. Thanks.

 

Anybody remember Brew 102?.... or Hamm's??

 

Hamms the beer refreshing, Hamms the beer refreshing, Hamms (remember the song and the Hamms bear) I think I have a Hamms bottle opener somewhere:clap:

Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer in a bottle - was our favorite to take to the desert CRC races - very cheap too

Im thinking i want to go, but im not sure if i have a ride. :?:
I may be there, no ppromises, and ive never even been to here so i dont know how to get there. :lol:

 

Simple, grasshopper...

Directions: Look up Harbor Blvd and Berkeley Ave in Fullerton... it's in the court house parking lot.

Hope you can make it and race the Race of Truth!

The only question is, are you man enough???

 

I will pass the flag to Gene. Sorry you can't make it.

 

update: scraped the grease and muck off the canoondale- i thin it's a 1985 vintage.

two old cactus cup jerseys to show off. will i be wearing them? doubtfull. my fattazz can't fit in them. oh well....

please make sure to laugh at the seat on the bike. it's a frigging old lady beach cruiser couch!

 

Drawing all over those things was a favorite pastime of mine too. Amazing what kind of crazy sh!t my junior high mind could come up with. FYI, I can't take credit for this one.

 

I remember if you wanted to be gangster you had a pee chee folded and in your back pocket.

 

I was the dork.I used a Trapper Keeper.

 

I think this "joke" was intended moreso for people way over my age. I dont even know what that is :lol:
