Bikes of Oaxaca

A reposting from the trip to Mexico 2 years ago. I think it may be time to go back there.

--------------------------------

Oaxaca bikes are a collection old and new, a smattering of high end, but most are on the cheap side. As cobble stones are common here, shocks and suspension are also popular on the more modern models. Here is a sampling of some of the more interesting ones. Note the second top tube. Very common on the popular single speed models.

A gem discovered one day as I searched for the bolt circle diameter of the crank on my 2006 Lemond Fillmore, the Bike-alog BikePedia is an essential web site for anyone wanting the specs on anything from full bikes to components without the manufacturer hype or annoying flash based navigation. This one site pulls everything together in a simple and neat format and is intended for shops and manufacturers, as well as the consumer looking for that special top-tube pad for a vintage steelie conversion.

Here is the Fillmore: http://bike-alog.com/BikePedia/Quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2006&Brand=LeMond&Model=Fillmore&Type=bike. Although I've changed it a little bit (more on that to come).
