    fender braces

    Hey everyone! Looking for some cool/different/things I could actually make type ideas for some fender braces. Restoring/resto modding a 70's women's Columbia Roadster for my girlfriend. Most all of the stock parts are polishing up real nice, but the braces are that v shaped galvanized steel that...

    chain ring swap

    Hey everyone! So I have some potentially dumb questions, but I've only recently forayed into single speed stuff, so please forgive me. First of all, is the front gear on a single speed one piece crank still called a chainring like on my MTB's or is it a chain wheel? If not, what's the...

    Where to find 26 x 1 3/8 tires...

    Hey y'all, I find myself sprucing up a 1970s Columbia Roadster for my girlfriend. Mechanically it's sound and doesn't really need any work, but it isnt..."pretty"...enough as it sits. It will get paint and soft goods swapped out for nicer items. One thing that has been giving me issues is tires...

    New Belgium/Felt cruisers value?

    Hey everyone. I just bought the 2013 New Belgium/Felt cruiser. Thought it was a pretty good deal at $225 and even though I didn't really need it, I snatched it up. Now I have the opportunity to get the 2010 edition, which I think is one of the coolest ones to date. It is missing the original...

    Rear deraileur/grip shift compatability

    Hey guys I am building a mountain bike based commuter but am planning to add a suicide shifter. I know most people do this with geared hubs, but I'm planning to run a reasonably new LX rear deraileur and 8 speed cassette, being that it is a mountain bike at heart and I picked these parts up...

    Where to buy tires?

    Hey everyone. Starting to compile parts for a new commuter build and am wondering where the best place to buy some tires is? I want some that are obnoxiously green...like kawasaki green/lime green kind of green but all I can seem to find is a rather tame green. Any ideas? Thanks a lot! Kyle
