I don't think it made the reserve. Of course that means it's a rider rather than a wall hanger. A very nice rider.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1168729201281554792007-01-13T18:00:00.000-05:002007-01-13T18:00:00.000-05:00Yeah.Maybe just a little bit too modern a shape fo...Yeah.<BR/><BR/>Maybe just a little bit too modern a shape for such a classic bike.<BR/><BR/>But you are correct. Once a bottle is in them they could be any shape.<BR/><BR/>Agree on the matte finish too.

I probably would have went with different bottle cages, but really, everything works together perfectly.<BR/><BR/>Just goes to show what a shame it is Schwinn could not survive doing what it did so well as late as 1986. <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed the photo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24415034.post-1168640976120589802007-01-12T17:29:00.000-05:002007-01-12T17:29:00.000-05:00The front rack on BB's porteur is nice.

Not too much original on there...some of my favorite parts include the front wheel, which is a 3-leading 3-trailing spoke pattern after the original got bent. The aero campy chorus post under the B67 is sort of a contradiction but it's pretty and comfortable. It's my doesn't-matter-what-the-weather-is bike.
