That's one of my favourite bike since I've seen it on Flickr, I always loved the peeling paintjob of it especially.

It nice to see a bicycle that's simply been use for function than form.

Thanks! That's what appealed about the bike to me as well. I bought it recently from the guy who took those photos you saw.

Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely got a unique patina. I see you live in downtown Seattle too?

Yeah, I actually just moved to Ballard last week, but definitely still riding around Seattle lots. Do you make it out to any events around here?

Not so much...mostly just ride around on my own. Hey, your Bridgestone is on CL...that is a beautiful bike. Are you really not riding fixed anymore?

Coomer says:

Thanks! I still ride fixed, but I ride with a brake now, and that bike has no provisions for brakes. Plus, I'm a huge fan of my stiff aluminum Cannondale. ;-)
