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:  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
