Since I'm moving and I'll have a garage again, I figured I'd start adding to
my stable. And since I'm moving out of the hills and back to the flatlands I figured I'd make myself a fixie. http://homepage.mac.com/getosx/fixie.jpg It's being shipped out tomorrow. It's an early 80s Motobecane Jubilee Sport. My first "serious" road bike was a 1980 Jubilee Sport, it was blue so this one isn't an '80 but it's real close because all the parts except the handlebar tape are the same.

Happily, it was just a pic of a nice, sensible candidate for a fixie. What kind of gruppo is on there now? /s |

It was about $375 new when I bought one in the summer of 1980. Greg |

The Varsity was like Black Sabbath whereas the Free Spirits were like The Sweet... JD heaviest metal |
