    Recommend Marine Grease?

    Yes, oily and runs out on it's own, not impressed comparing to red wheel grease. Anyway, my thoughts after 25 years experience, not worth the added cost and upkeep.

    New Ripper

    I like yours! My Scott Enterprises went the opposite way! Scott had just passed, it was listed on craigslist for too much, I bought it anyway! Pretty much paid new prices for a frame and fork... Anyway I replaced everything, literally have street slicks coming today. $500 deep in this, should...

    Locating the brand of this classic bicycle

    Usually the bikes that were made for export or import were made by somebody else....a picture of the bike will be more telling as the parent company may have failed, faded, or just forgot! I have a Manco minibike bicycle, nothing on the internet about them!

    Mountain bikes

    Yes you are correct, but they did make the lockring a different size!!! It still threads on righty tighty..... Out of the cheapo fixie hubs, GULI is the best pos! Sealed and left handed lock ring.

    Bianchi

    I remember when that model came out! Had to reason out "not" buying one to buy a Nishiki touring bike. Italian engineering and quality well made!

    Mountain bikes

    I hate being "that" guy, but... Those "Magna" fixies are GARBAGE. 1) front end is short, really really short! 2) head tube is an amazing 75-76°s step which is tighter than most modern freestyle bmxs! 3) my kids rode one A COUPLE HOURS and the frame snapped, no warning, just disassembled doing...

    School me on "muscle"

    My Crate fell victim to bmx. Happy at the time, sad about it now! I don't get vintage collector's, we broke ALL the 80s stuff, that's why it's so expensive now! I personally ride new school, old metal steers like a truck with flat tires!

    Craigslist nightmares and dreams...

    Sometimes the most "car salesman," adds are the most efficient! It's a new men's step through frame...

    China Blue

    For a 48t sprocket with 2.125 or bigger tires you would need about a 22 or 23 rear... I'd go 48/23 because I'm a wheelie guy. Cool looking frame.
