I'm extending the lineage a little earlier for the Chris Chance, and a little later for my IF, but you get the picture

Apologies for the bad lighting--this was a late in evening packing procrastination. But moving house is a great excuse to line 'em all up!

The rest of the rideable fleet (though the Trek needs new tires):

Thanks you guys, glad you liked the pics.

What I am after next is a mid-1980s Fat with a box crown fork (and ideally an in-house bullmoose)....here's to a long search!

interesting to note the compression in the Turbo saddles compared to the Flites which were all set exactly an inch or so lower :!:
