    Mob Rules - initial mock-up pics

    I thought about it, but then I would have to put a one-piece crank in a three-piece crank bike and the chainline would be REALLY off!

    Mob Rules - initial mock-up pics

    I might end up dragging it down to the local bike co-op and digging through the bins to fins something that will work better, but I'm digging the idea of 49/14 gearing that's on there now

Not pictured are the plastic exercise bike wheel discs for the rear. taking them on and off increases the chances of the plastic cracking so they are put away...

    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...

    Burning old grease out of bearings, "How To" or "Don't Do?"

    B12 Chemtool carb cleaner works good, but it's NASTY stuff to breathe Gasoline has worked well for me too. All solvents are bad for you to breathe and be in skin contact with. Every one of us knows that, but probably doesn't take precautions because we're only occasionally exposed to the...
