this thing probably has a motor in it somewhere (look at the tire size), but it's still cooler than all those hubless/chainless "concept bicycles."

My car broke down and I need a bike FAST! I have $1,000-$1,500 to spend. I can spend more if it will get me everything I want:

-Folding
-Lightweight (Please! I'm not that strong)
-Good for street travel (a hybrid would work nicely if it's light)

have you ever wanted to ride a tandem, but found out that you had no friends? well, build a robot stoker.

New guy posting. Bikes, and a question... [05 Feb 2010|02:23pm]

Live in twin cities, Minnesota. You have to love biking on ice -- and I don't mean the smooth kind.

I rescued a Dahon California folding bike from eBay; liberated a Schwinn Panther from the RNC 2008 convention (bought it from a used bike organization that had the unused [big surprise] bikes donated after the convention) that I am converting to carry as much cargo as possible; own an ancient Schwinn from god-knows-when (old cyclist steel frame weighs a ton!) that I test customizing ideas on; and I reserve my love for my favorite child -- a Felt Virtue FS with probably too many add-on features.

They'll all come up in questions later... though if anyone has a suggestion for a book on how to care/maintain/modify many types of bikes, I might be able to avoid it.

------------------------

Anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a used Xtracycle FreeRadical and/or additional cargo pieces; but not via eBay or Craigslist?

Posted this question to the 'Bikes' LJ community -- got these two suggestions:

...but more suggestions would be appreciated

how much work is involved in sanding off chrome? i'm not interested in repainting, i'm building up a beater and i'm kinda interesting in just getting to the copper plating underneath. i'm sure with alot of hard work and sandpaper i can do it (in fact my friend came into the shop with a track fork that had that going on with the lowers;) i guess i'm not sure what's the right grit.

Touring and a new bike [04 Feb 2010|02:01pm]

I finished building my snow bike just in time for a big dump of snow. I don't have a decent pic, but it's pretty nice. Pake C'Muter frame, Fulcrum Red disc wheels with the rear converted to a fixed using a Tomi cog. It's working well.

I'm also planning a big tour from Santa Fe to San Francisco, but I'm a little sketch on the route. I don't want to head straight west then up the coast because there's a couple deserts that way, so I'm thinking of going north then west, through Denver and maybe up to Utah. Anyone ride this way before? Advice, routes I can take? Web sites I can check out.

ETA: Any advice on a good front rack. I was thinking of a Surly.

If anyone buys a Brooks B67 off the streets of San Francisco (esp. Mission) in the next couple of days, yeah that was probably mine. You'll know it was mine if it's missing the left spring nut.

A single tear cried for the 10,000+ miles put on that saddle.
