It's a vintage of some unknown year (I tend to think late '40s or early '50s but I'm far from an expert. Could be anything, really). Was given to me by Lounge member fortworthgal and her husband. It's really quite nifty with the brown, I think.

Why, thanks! It's not that I don't have my own small collection - I also have two Federations, not to mention a couple of Panamas (though I have fit problems with the soft straws) and a boater - but for whatever reason, the Campdraft finds its way to my head 99% of the time.

I'm always jealous of the awesome vintage numbers sported around here - but...
I feel like I should show off my new addition (oh, and I'm back! Been away for a while, missed the place). It's not strictly a vintage balloon tire, but it's definitely inspired by the classics.
It's my new Breezer Uptown 8. Inspired by classic European city bikes, it has everything...
Just got back from seeing them at the McDavid Studio here in downtown Fort Worth, and now I'm listening to their new album - "Polka's Revenge" by the one and only Brave Combo.
