    Mob Rules - initial mock-up pics

    The plan is a 20" fixed gear Bianchi. Ive had this frame a while but never knew what to do with it. I believe it is a 1960-something, either late 60s or possibly one of the first Bianchi city bikes? It has all the aspects of a regular folder but without the center hinge. I've never been able to...

    Does anyone know if the shift indexing is the same between the 333 and 3cc hubs? the 3cc I have is indexed on the shift rod actuator on the hub (only time I've ever seen this setup) and I really want to use a 333 grip shifter with it, using a 333 actuator. At the moment I can't find a 333...

    what to do with women's diamond mtb frames?

    It was hippy christmas with all the college kids moving out of town last week and I picked up two free '90s women's mtb frames. What should I do? right now my only thought is to maybe throw one together with a banana and apes to try to sell and buy something cool.
