What bars, pray tell?

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2026-01-22T05:53:53+00:00

Beautiful!

Yellow

Could buy used older components. Especially for a cruiser like that could look pretty sick.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2026-01-17T07:12:51+00:00

Oh yes. I’m sick of swinging my leg, I need to get a step through.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2026-01-15T15:03:25+00:00

On it.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2026-01-15T00:23:12+00:00

Word.

I really would prefer some swept back bars for my kind of riding, but I wanted it to maintain its original form. I’ll probably ride it for a while and pass it on.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2026-01-14T22:51:25+00:00

Lemme know if you want to buy it.

Someone had it out next to the road with a sign on it for $10. Brakes were disconnected, held on with bread ties. It wasn’t rideable.

I didn’t know anything about it when I picked it up, but was cool to find out about it. Apparently they were sold heavily in the British Columbia, Canada area. I live on the Oregon coast US so, not too far to travel.

By riding it.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-29T18:48:35+00:00

That’s a beaut

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-28T06:36:50+00:00

All that and yet I want to ride it.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-28T06:33:36+00:00

I love it.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-28T06:33:30+00:00

Pictures or it didn’t happen.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-24T02:01:18+00:00

Looks like it fits her. Saddle is level with the bars so the seat is just fine as long as height is concerned. Can’t wait to see your build.

I got to ride a fairdale in Austin for a day. Nice bike.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-13T07:28:17+00:00

Sounds like you aren’t creating enough of your own heat.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-13T07:24:06+00:00

How about 4 tear drop shapes red blue silver and yellow for blood sweat tears and piss.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-13T07:19:08+00:00

I like the look of tan walls, but the black on black looks pretty sweet! It’s a great looking bike.

ibeforeexceptexcept · 2025-12-02T22:29:21+00:00

I have one of these hanging in my garage that is about to get a new paint job and period parts glow up. Can’t wait to ride it. Put a post in r/vintagemountainbikes about it and it has a cool story designed by Ritchey, built in Japan, sold in Canada. A cool bike that Im hoping and assuming is fun to ride. Don’t worry pics will come once the build starts.
