Random Bicycle Crap Fridays - Bicycles of Missoula Vol. I

Missoula has some great bicycles to be found around town. In the last few years a lot of vintage Bicycles have come out of hiding, adding a lot of variety to the streets of Missoula. Here are just a few.


This first one isn't vintage, but a custom fixed-gear build by Cody Gould. He sent me this photo after he saw a photo of my fixed-gear, joking that one of us was the evil twin since we had such similar setups - though I don't have wood grain wheels like Cody. The frame is a custom hand-built frame from a friend of his out of Helena.


I like the colorway of this next bike, but I think the bike is a little naked with that puny chain locking it up.


This bike was setup for a father - daughter ride. I don't know if people can make it out, but the second seat has a second crank that a little child can reach, although the little girl could only reach it with her toes.


I really had no idea what the lever was for, I just thought it was interesting


The handlebars caught my eye with this fixed-gear, also looks like custom paint.


Good example of the vintage style that is showing up in Missoula


Clean fixed-gear build, props for the color coordination

Nice. I love scoping out random bikes I come across.

That lever is probably to the 3-gear shifter hub. Like on my Sting Ray.

Did you get "Colorway" from NYC Bike Snob?

The one, the only... figured the bicycle in question deserved the use of colorway, especially since the owner had obviously put so much thought into color coordination.
