Hello from Atlantic, Iowa. Been reading and learning. Been buying for a couple years now trying to sort out. Built a little. Sold a few odds and ends. Love the website! Lucky to know Dan at Ichi Bike...awesome stop if you get to Des Moines. Hope to make lots more freinds here, thanks. Robert

Welcome from Cedar Rapids! Do you by chance list bikes on CL? I see bikes in your area on there often.

Finished up my Firestone 500 last nite other than a longer kickstand. Larger tires on it now. Had to use a Murray crank and wheel cause the other one was bent .

Thats ok...its just a rat.

Luke.
