As if Karma struck, I received my recent Nashbar catalog and payday is almost here! Thanks to you guys, Adsense is $42, Inbox Surveys is almost $20 and the NOVA focus group is Tuesday night!
Here are some photos of the bike, yet named, but certainly something to consider. The basic framework is there, we just need to add the personality!
On the menu will be the following:
- Repack or Replace the bottom Bracket
- New front wheel (hub, rim, spokes, tube/tire)
- New rear wheel (freewheel, hub, spokes, rim, tube/tire)
- New pedals
- New seat
- New brakes/levers
- New derailleurs
- New cables
- New handlebar, stem and grips
The goal is for this to become that bicycle that I will love to take out when the trail is not paved. Could add racks/panniers for an off-road weekend, or look to use it on the C & O canal ride as referenced below:

Mr. Frugal's eventual plan will be to take a week and ride the trail. Herr Maus and Herr Professor would certainly add to the trip! Either the Cannondale or Oliver, the Raleigh Twenty will be on the trip.
Thank you for all of your support as we start this project in the coming weeks and feel free to leave some comments on ideas suggestions on the rebuild and what to name this one?
