Today’s selection comes to us from Julie S. According to Julie, she loves this Puch Pathfinder despite the fact that it’s steel. What?! Like being steel is a bad thing? This isn’t oldcarbonfiberoraluminumdisposablecrapgallery.com you’re suppose love your bike for being steel! Steel is real! Right?
Julie indicates that she acquired this gem off of craigslist, so I will give her the benefit of the doubt with regard to her flop-n-chop bars. Perhaps this bit of OTS sacrilege was done by the previous owner. However, I have received another OTS from Julie that I have yet to post, and it too sports a set of FNCs. I’m not about to get all self righteous and pretend I never fell into the FNC trap. I did. I was young. And I’m sorry. It was on a project a several years ago, and when I had finished, I immediately regretted trashing a perfectly serviceable set of 36cm drops. Quickly, I skated on over to chucksbikes.com and picked up a nice set of $10 bull horns! Much better.
Remember kids:Â Chop wood not drops!
A nice find off of CL. Even tho its steel and too big for me; love her anyway. Takes me back to the 70’s.
Thanks Julie
