Saw this fun VDO over at Tracko. I was going to complain about the cold wind we are experiencing here in the San Francisco Bay Area this morning, but after watching what people over in the East Coast have to go through with, I'd better be quiet now…

It Ain't That Serious. from open bicycle on Vimeo.

Last weekend while I was hanging out in the park. I ended up scored this Cinelli priest bar, Cinelli stem, with toshi black leather handlebar wrap combo from a friend for $70. He had it for a mont

h and paid $70, voila.. puck happy, friend was happy..
I must say, this set up is a really fun and fast around town bike. I get to sit up a bit taller help me make all those cute eyes contacts. Also a small size basket from Box Dog bike give just enough room for camera bag. Travis Freight bag beer holster definitely add the swift feel of party on the go.
Fun set up indeed… watch out now.. don't block my way..

and hello warm weather and everything related…
So i think this shot of Johnny and Felice, of whom I ran into around Hayes Valley yesterday a good indication of a warm California weather. Hope you all had a good weekend doing something fun.

This bike popped up on e-bay recently and thanks to Sean, our e-bay master, it won't get away. Here’s link to the e-bay listing HERE!!!.

I hope you hop over to check the price. It will give you a good reality check of what the market rate is for this kind of bike. Sheldon Brown's site does have a page that tell you the estimate price of bikes, but I have not visited that page for a while. We hope this kind of posting will give readers a good sense of cost for this rare type of bike.
Here’s a fine example of a very sought after bike.

More details photo of this bike HERE!!!!

Here is what the seller had to say about this Alex Singer:

“Fabulous full chrome bike, 650 B wheels.

Absolute top of the range model, early 50s, with all the best parts and braze-ons. Barn-find condition, untouched, all original except for the stem (sho

uld be a custom AS stem) and saddle.

Check-out all the wonderful Singer bits : quadruple RD braze-on, Singer brakes and rollers, Singer front derailleur, Singer carriers; Singer front light bracket.

Fabulous wheels : Mephisto a bloc rims (perfect logos), superlight spokes, Maxi-Car hubs early two piece type.

Beautiful Stronglight crankset, Cyclo 5 speed to move the chain over to the repose chaine integrated into the rear dropout.

One of the essential qualities of this bike is the exceptional lugwork, on these top chrome bikes a huge amount of work went into filing down the lugs to noting before polishing. They have an almost sculptural quality. You only see this kind of workmanshop on the best Herse or Singer bikes.

Chrome is not perfect but the oxydation is never deep and this would be an esay rechrome if you choose that option. You could also keep the chrome as is, as the original logos are all there and it is beautiful as is, and it would polish/clean up a lot better again with some hard work (this would be my choice, but once the bike is sold it's not up to me to decide).
