I actually like your 1x1 for that reason. While driving through town recently I came across a bike laying halfway in the road waiting to be run over by the heavy traffic. I figured it was just another Wallyworld BSO that someone had abandoned on the spot. I stopped and threw it in the back of the truck just to get it out of the road. Checking it out later, turns out it was an early 90's Schwinn High Plains. Not a great bike but it has a lugged True Temper frame and a level top tube which I always thought looked better. This might be my winter basement project this year. Maybe an orange powdercoat, a new set of wheels and a Nitto mustache bar out of the parts bin to make it into a faux XO-1. I would love to try the Extraterrestrials but I dont think this frame would swallow them. Anyway thanks for the inspiration. As for 26 in wheels I'm always reminded of Richard Pryor's famous quote "I ain't dead yet motherf*#ker!".Phillip Cowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553979458131339924noreply@blogger.com
