"Gold Stem - Now what to do with the rest of the bike" You can sell/trade it away to me. :D

I wish my vintage MTB was lugged! :x :wink: Here's a pic of the EXACT SAME bike I own, mine needs resto but nothing major as its all there and in great shape, just a bit of cleaning and polishing will make her sexy again. :D This is my actual bike.

Good vibes and positive energy going out to any and all members that have family and friends or make Oklahoma their home.

Re: Columbia Twin Bar & a Elgin Black Hawk REALLY SWEET FINDS!

Bastid! :lol: If you do you know who to PM. :wink:

DIBS on the head badge, let me know please. :D

Uh yeah, mine has space around it too, thats why I want to find the correct size. I guess they did put the wrong size on at the factory.

Yeah I noticed that too. Monday Ill be buying the right size seat post as I planned on replacing it with aluminium anyways. Ive never ever had a bike that used a seat post that was a bit smaller than the seat tube.

I haven't had a problem with the seat post clamp (knocks on wood) but the rear wheel is def wigglin' 'round. Can't wait to see the wrenches face when I take it in to get straightened! :lol:

Don't have either one. :| Oh well, such is life.

Yup, that's the way I was taught to ride. :) If you buy one expect trouble "out of the box!" Only reason I'm dealing with mine is its truly a pleasure to ride. :) and the fact that its an attention whore is awesome too. :lol:

Re: Thursday finds. Please help identify one of them. Nice bikes dude! If you part out the "Peugeot" I call dibs on the Mafac brakes and hardware.

Well I replaced the BB and I'm glad I did, I found a lot of metal shavings in the bearings and the non drive side BB did not fit right, it was loose even after it was cleaned and reinstalled! it was like it was a slightly smaller size or something?! The drive side BB was fine absolutely fine...

Just waiting on a reply.....

Ill give you 5 dollars for the seat. :wink: Just kiddin' Great find at a stupid low price!

The lock nut comes loose and the non drive side BB itself was loose, I tightened it all up and it came loose again. I think Im just going to go ahead and replace it with a new sealed bearing BB.

If you don't get it you never will, even if every one who does get it explains it to you on a daily basis. In other words its not for everyone. :wink: I'm actually thinking of taking mine down to the junkyard and laughing maniacally while its being crushed! but I still love it. :P

I know a few of you have had BB problems with your Beast, well after a short ride the other day I found a loose BB so I opened it up, cleaned it, and repacked it. All seemed well till I went out on a ride and the same thing happened! So I'm wondering if just changing it out to the recommended...

It would be easier I guess to ask you what your into. (bike wise) :wink:

Uhhhh, sick as in "Fudgin" Awesome!"
