The making/ building of the Blue Blur

[Slow-Rider]

I just blew $17.00 on a seat we will see how it looks on bike.

^^ I bought one of those seats to use on a my vintage Schwinn bmx for riding in the driveway with the kids. It is more comfortable than the original hard plastic seat. A friend bought one for a road bike, and it broke on the third ride.

I got a dumb question but being a TT newb... Is that front tire high pressure? It seems like it would need to be.

I bought a back up seat . just incase the other is not a good fit.

Slow - Ride, did you ever get that seatpost diameter measured out? Use metric if you have the capability, otherwise I can convert too.

25.4 seat post fits but a little lose. would work with a slim business card size shim. out side measure's 1.155. trouble is top of seat tube is mangled not perfectly round. so inside hard to get a read.

Those Tioga Powerblocks are good tires. I used one on the front of my Four-gone Conclusion Muscle bike BO build a few years back, in the 24" version. @Slow-Rider , I sent you a message in Conversations about seat posts, etc. (It's that little envelope in the top right of the menu bar).

Just sent it, check again please. Might have to 'refresh' your page. @Slow-Rider

And there are quite a few 32H 600 hubs on ebay when you search "vintage Shimano 600 hubs"
