    Fat bike tires..

    Whoops, 24's. And one other thing, I'm not keen on the surly tires, don't really feel they fit the cruiser bike look.

    Fat bike tires..

    Howdy all, I'm building my second bike now, I think I have the bug but don't have the space. I had wheels built by chopper usa (4 inch beasts), but have no idea what tires will fit. They sell a chopper tire which is 4 1/4 which I can buy, but will a 3 inch tire fit these rims like thick bricks...

    Bottom Bracket help

    Thanks guys, much appreciated. Still not sure if I want to stick with old school one piece, or upgrade. Since I will use this bike to just cruise, I think one piece will work just fine. But the three piece sets look tougher, or more high tech. I have time to figure it out as I'm in the process...

    Worksman frame questions

    Just received a worksman frame that I will start building up so I have a few questions.. First off, what is the widest rim/tire that will fit? Would love to get a set of the copper colored rims (26) that our host is selling? Can I install a monark springer, I'm guessing yes? What is the seat...

    Is this a Western bike...

    http://chicago.craigslist.org/chc/bik/3759333414.html To me, this is such a cool looking frame, the lines are amazing. Don't care about the paint job, but is it a western bike, I can't seem to find a post with a frame like this, or maybe it's just the angle? Also, is it worth the money? Thanks...

    NEW KLUNKER IN TOWN

    I know I'm new to this site, but I grew up in klunkerville, USA. Bought my first Klunker, well actually traded in a chunk rat at the LBS, gave the guy 10 bucks on top, which was a hell of a lot of money back then, and rode out on my first and last used klunker. This was in Marin County where the...

    Crank/Wheel/tire q's on felt.

    Thanks for the help and links. I got the black crank and sprocket. Found a black seat post which wasn't easy as it's 27.2. I’m 6-2 so I might have a custom laid back one made. The quill that is on my bike now matches the paint scheme, but to me it sticks too far up, finding a black one that is 1...
