    Pedal Bearings

    I am rebuilding an old set of Torrington pedals and would like to replace the bearings on both ends as some of the balls are falling out. Does anyone know of a source for replacements? I'll try to get pictures soon. Thanks, Fred

    Creative truss rod ideas?

    What choices are available for "classic" looking 26 X 2.35 cruiser tires?

    What are you guys choosing for tires for your classic cruisers? I'm working on a 1930"s Elgin and would like some 2.35 tires but the choices are limited. Don't have to be 2.35 but I have the space. I've looked at Fat Franks and might go that route. I like the Continental Retro Rides (2.20) and...
