I don't have it on me right now. It's currently at my parents house, where there is breathing room to work on the bike. I had other issues so it's just sitting there, the new back wheel i got (which is an e bike wheel) is way too wide to fit, because it is for a fat bike, not a standard wheel as...

So I bought a 5 speed stick shifter off ebay, and it is a tad to short. I can of course move it back, but to keep it where I want I will need to extend it a bit. I'm not sure how to get in and change the cable or I would, so I was hoping I could just use something to extend the cable. It's a...

I'll take a look at it I think Im going to just go for a 3 or 5 speed and use a mid or front hub when the e bike part cones into play, as I want a stick shifter

How will I know what size I need? I take it I will need the seat first? I think my first step is to do the gears though. That I'll need help with figuring out what I'll need. I definitely want the stick shift on the frame. I'd imagine I'll need a matching derailer and a new wheel with the...

So I picked up a Murray Monterey cruiser today. It needs new tires, but is otherwise functional. It has a 6 speed on it (no markings) and front and rear brakes. From googling I'm not sure if they are original or added on later. The lady I got it from said she got it from the original owner who...

here it is. It has a 6 speed on the rear wheel, and front and rear brakes. Not sure if those were original, or the bike is actually a Monterey, or at least a later model of them that they added them on. The lady said the guy she got it from was the original owner and had it since the 70s, so...

I found a Murray Monterey for sale locally pretty cheap because it needs new tires. Gonna pick that up tomorrow, figured it's a good start

I was thinking the 20 for the front and 26 for the rear. I've seen some of the 20 rears have an 18 front. Maybe I'll go with a 24 front? I'd imagine to keep the bike level I'd just need to extend the forks a bit. I do want to use a fat tire in the rear, so maybe for the e bike I can use the...

Is that the right name for them? I think the first step would be to get the bike, then figure out the e bike part once it's all what I want.

Hello! New to the forums, and really anything bike building related (rode bikes, but never modified them) I joined the forums to look at some builds and get some advice for a bike I'd love to have, and can't seem to find anywhere to buy, so I think my only option is to build my own. I aheba bit...
