    Making your own headlight

    I've had good luck with using those little LED flashlights that run off of 3 AAA batteries. They've been getting brighter, and with a little work you get the battery pack and the bulb in one package.

    Rollfast Muscle Project

    Huffy Millennial 29er - anyone else got one ?

    I have one! It is a 1" headset. I fitted it with 26X3" wheels and tires. It's my "convertible", a good bike to have in the fleet as a loaner.

    Need Bicycle Frame Made
