Nice old Crescent with Shimano 600 or Dura Ace AX.

Milanova (?) @ Fredhäll

I really like bikes with aero brake handles. I’m not sure of the make of this bike, the logo looks almost American. Nice red tires as well.

Anchor @ Fredhäll

I like the colors on this bike, the blue frame and brown saddle.

Peugeot @ Södra station

Beat up but nice Peugeot. I like the checkered pattern.

This is a really nice commuter bike: somewhat stripped down yet practical. Chrome finish, plain wheels, gears, and fenders. And nice discrete brake levers. The red brake cables are the only flashy parts, like the finishing touch that gives the whole a twist. The rider was probably drinking coffee at Vurma with the rider of the other bike.

Conti @ Hornstull

After a while of being interested in bikes, you start noticing stuff about them that you just didn’t see before. Just a while ago I didn’t really think of that bike frames come in different sizes, and that the size of the frame really makes a difference to how the bike looks. The frame geometry is really the soul of a bike.

This nice Conti (an old Italian I guess?) had probably been repaired by the guys at Cykelspecialisten on Hornstull, and was waiting for the owner to collect it. A really nice frame, and the chromed fork looks slender.

Planet X @ Möregatan

This is a pretty extreme bike. I recognized the guy riding it, I think he works at Sportson bike shop. Even though I wouldn’t like to own a bike like this, I think it is pretty cool and would really like to try it. I wonder what happens with the frame if you crash? Parked at Möregatan, just outside my house.

Peugeot @ Götgatan

This one would look nice a little more stripped down, right?

The graphics on the frame is really cool though, reminds me of some old TV-show logo. This looks older than the Peugeot @ Hornstull, maybe even from the 70ies? I think it was parked on Götgatan outside the video store when I took the picture. It is a great video store by the way.

Fuji @ Renstiernas Gata

I really like this bike. Nice tight frame and 80ies paint job. I like the brakehandle on the bullhorns, but shouldn’t the brake wire go beneath the tape? Anyway, I’ve seen it a couple of times around Renstiernas gata.

Peugeot @ Hornstull

I really like the colored stripes on this Peugeot frame, it’s a classic design. How old are these, from the 80-ies? Sorry I didn’t get the saddle on the photo, I was in a hurry. It was parked in Hornstull.

I’m guessing this is a single-speed, since it has two brakes.
