I've been advertising in the local on-line swap shop for a touring bike. The prospects are slim I know. There probably isn't even one real touring bike in this small town, especially since I live on the windy plains where sane people don't ride bicycles. So, I probably won't find a used touring bike this way.
But ... look at the nice little Bridgestone 200 I did pick up. It's not top of the line by any means, but I kinda like it. I think it's about a 1986 model. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet, but hey, a guy can't have too many bikes, can he? If nothing else I'll use it as a loaner or end up giving it to someone in need of a light roadster.
Maybe this weekend I'll rebuild the hubs, and maybe the bottom bracket and headset. It's been sitting a while, so the grease is probably dried out. If I find anything interesting it post it.
(By the way, yes, the picture is upside down ... it was taken while the bike was hanging in the previous owner's garage.)
