Ok,
you caught me... This isn't a "Current Classic" by the
definition here. But, since it's my site, and I don't have a "current"
current classic.
I figure that since I currently use this classic bike, it's a "Current
Classic".
It's
possible that I can be convinced on similar type bicycles - the
best angle to work is a classic bike that is used (as opposed to
a bicycle that is driven around to concourse exhibits.)
Anyway,
this is a Dawes "Double Blue" (so I am told), which was
found at a garage sale, dirty and disused. Although I originally
was just going to clean it up and sell it, but I chanced to call
my LBS who just had a customer reneg on a special order for a Surly
flip-flop/Mavic MA-3 rear wheel. So, the Dawes has become my second
fixed bicycle.
Bit
Detail: Brooks Pro Honey w/ skivved edges, Rivendell Baggins Hobo
Bag, Campy GS 170mm cranks with 42 x 16T gearing, TTT stem and seatpost,
requisite lighting and fenders for commuting. A light and smooth
riding bicycle.
