Justin and I got new bikes! Well...new OLD bikes.
Mine: a light pink and white vintage Ross.
His: a burgundy vintage Armstrong.
Some of the sweet details:
a tank with super 60s graphics and a headlight (gonna try to get it to work)...and a wicker basket
a pink rack on the back
a big old-school speedometer/odometer
an adorable scripty logo
and a red and white bike seat with a matching satchel!!
We got them from Revolution Bicycles in Saugerties -- a cute bike shop with a good selection of vintage bicycles.... and the best part....it's owned by a young couple from Manhattan who also bought a house in Kingston!!
We took our first bike ride down to Keegan Ales, the local brewery...enjoyed a couple glasses of Four Philosophers Belgian Tripel...watched the sun set and rode back home. God, I love summer.
Those bikes are very nice! How did you come up with the name for your blog?
ReplyDeletehmm...good question. i wish i had a good answer!
ReplyDeletei guess i've always had a thing for field guides...and i like the words field guide...and the imagery associated with field guides...and this blog is kind of like my very own field guide --to the things in my house, my town, and my head. and 35 is our house number!
DYING OVER THESE, YOU GUYS.
