The $5 pannier
These are canvas panniers I made from gas mask bags purchesed at an Army surplus store. They already came with a rigid plastic insert! 

SHINY!!!
1988 Mangusta
This is a 10 speed racing bike made by Mongoose. French tubeset with internal lugs.
I gave this thing to my friend Justin. I'm so gracious! Ha!

Doug

This is Doug. He used to be into touring around in the good ole days. He's full of good stories. You can uusually find him up at the Starbucks on Fletcher Parkway and Navajo. 

Vic's bike

Friend Victor's bike. It's a Virtue. San Diego owned company that specializes in single speed, town, and utility bikes. This particular model is called a "Revive". This was taken after  reaching our Downtown destination at Seaport Village; East county San Diego-Yeeehaw to Downtown.

Jane's Lemans 12


This is an 83 (I think it's an 83) Centurion LeMans 12. I gave it a good cleaning and swapped the bars out. This was my sister, Jane's Xmas present. This is a picture I took after a test drive. (That's a chile relleno burrito in the basket by the way)


Wiggles on her Trek Navigator with a basket full of pig!

This is my girlfriend, Wiggles (Nhien) with our pig (cat) in the basket at Lake Murray in La Mesa. 
1988 Bianchi Trofeo. I miss this thing. I ended up selling it to make room for other bicycles. The guy that bought it was really enthusiastic about the bicycle. he was ready to take the trolley to my house to pick it up and ride 20 miles home in the rain. I ended up delivering the bicycle to him just to be safe. he was somwwhat of a portly middle age fellow; very friendly.

Monstercross Setup


1999 Bianchi B.A.S.S.
I've had this thing the longest out of all of my bicylcles. I have converted it into a drop bar mountain bike as you can see. The frame is aluminum (very light). This thing rides like a BMX. My only complaint is that the brake pads eat the rims. I really need to put some Kool Stops on this bike, or some softer pad than what's on there now.
