    3 speed hub conversion ?

    pm sent, i think. maybe twice or not at all pm's are odd on this forum. i can't tell if it's showing me what i sent, or it's a preview and i need to hit another send button to actually send it.

    any regular 2sp kickback users?

    i mean like it might be your main rider or one you use fairly often. praise? slings and arrows? do you like it? do you accidentally shift much? quirks? i'm trying to come up with a simple drive train for a project and wondering if a two speed will work for me. i just don't like single speed...

    Wal-Mart sells cool bikes????

    that's kinda true. my golden days was around the muscle bike era and besides krates, most of the other's were in the department stores. sears, pennys, western auto (not really a dept. store, but not a bike shop either) etc. they had the bikes i wanted.

    idea for a football fan

    i just started fooling with the idea of a school colors bike. it won't have a tank (unless some idea pops up later), but i'm working on a nice big chainguard that will have enough room for a good sized logo, school name or whatever

    Homemade bicycle head badges

    still working on it, but i think i'm past the "will it work?" stage for my school bike. a keychain fob i ground the chain hook off of. the inner section spins. don't know how much wind it would take to make it spin on the bike, but i made room for it to spin if it will. i guess not too hard...

    Chicago Monthly ride Year in Review 2011 PIC HEAVY!!!!!

    i wish more rides like that happened here. we just have the two mayors rides on memorial and labor day, and then it's still mostly road and mountain bikes. like seeing the hutch fairing bike too. i have one without the fairing. can't find it most times, and can't afford it when one pops up.

    What's your Local Shop got laying around?

    not too much. nearly all the local shops are fairly new, so there may be one old bike in a corner or something. the only shop that's been around a good while is across the river and i've only been there once on a quick stop, so i can't remember anything special.

    Who is keeping track.

    i don't really keep any kind of record, part because almost immediately i'm digging through my parts pile, so it's kind of hard to know what value to put on a part i have already. i've also never been a seller at this point, so i haven't worried about trying to figure weather i'm making any...

    24" Schwinn Muscle Bike **FINISHED**

    Re: 24" Schwinn Muscle Bike **4th Small UPDATE**NOS GRIPS** you'd give yourself a new set of problems (figuring out brakes mainly), but a back wheel and derailleur from a 24" mountain bike would give you gears for pretty cheap. that way the bigger front sprocket wouldn't be as big of a deal...

    Thrift store idea

    how stable was this one? it looks like it's just some high pressure tires (and maybe some kind of fairing)away from being really serious.

    How many bikes

    i'm not countin' 'em. as long as i don't know the exact number, i can always say, "aw, there ain't that many". plausible deniability, i think it's called.

    The Slow Bicycle Movement

    that sounds closer to what i saw. not to derail the original subject though. i just didn't know what it was called.

    Thrift store idea

    that's not too far from a gravity bike

    The Slow Bicycle Movement

    that wasn't what i thought it would be. i remember some years back there was this deal where a group of people would get together for a bike ride, but it would be a really slow cruise, kinda blocking traffic. i think it was part bike ride, part demonstration or protest for cyclists sharing the...

    How many bikes

    you are crazy. so are we. you're just showing her you're not the only person in the world who's crazy. just try to act sane in the other parts of your life so she won't have you commited... ...maybe.

    bike donations and tax? assigned value?

    i've been doing h&r block the last 7-8 years... i used to do my own, but my ex insisted on it when we got married. math was like some mystic art to her and she couldn't belive i could come up with the right numbers. since buying the house and other things i haven't retried it myself since the...

    Replica High Wheelers, valuable or just fun?

    don't know if it could be made to interchange (like if more spoke holes needed to be drilled in the hub or crankarm lenth and whatnot), but a front wheel from one of those green machine trikes has a freewheel hub. i think there's a similar next (i think?) trike that has one too, in case that's...
