I have a neat typhoon frame from August 69 (2 months older than me!) and it's got a lot of personality. Should I paint it or leave it as is? What do you think? I was thinking about rattlecaning it but I love campus green and I'm wondering if the paint is good enough just to leave as is.

Does it have to be a 1" fork?

So I have a great typhoon frame now and while going through the bins at the co-op I couldn't find the correct size headset. I eventually was able to take some races off a bmx fork and they fit fine. What kind of fork options do I have. Can I mix and match headset parts. They have a bunch of...

I often use the eBay prices to prove to my wife I got a bargin "Sure, I paid $40 for this Raleigh twenty but they go for $300 on eBay!" I still get in dutch with her but at least I didn't pay eBay prices.

Just wondering, how long has this hobby been around?

I played my share of video games when I was a kid. How many hours were wasted on the Atari 2600 or Mattel Intelivision (remember that one?) As a parent and as someone who works in TV news I am scared to death to let my kids wander too far. I'm sure it was just as dangerous then as it is now but...
