any good online bike shops?

 

trek said I can have their 2008 model for free or I can have a custom painted frame. Or o can have the value of tje bike applied towards any trek or gary fisher bike

Im happy

 

glad it worked out

so what are you going to choose?

 

i'd say go with the custom painted, but who knows how long that would take to arrive.

 

So I am thinking of converting my Raleigh Supercourse12. Its from the 70's.

I am 50/50 on deciding wheter to keep it retro and the leave the frame a weathered metallic brown color and keeping the drop handle bars or painting the frame and changing the handle bars.

 

dont convert it, leave it like it is..... just restore it

I've always liked http://www.jensonusa.com/

Good prices, wide selection

 

new to this, looking for a daily commuter.. found this on craigslist for a $100 do you think its worth it, or keep on looking?

its a Classic Shwinn (Le Tour 2)speed bicycle ,I believe it is a 1976

yea that's great if you're a girl

 

bahaha damnit man

 

those pics are so emo

 

how would a 70's Schwinn be for converting to fixed? something like the schwinn contintental

i know they aren't horizontal drops but it could be good enough, i would run a front brake and just want it basically to learn on and cruise around

 

are they the // dropouts or vertical?

keep that super course! modenrize it in some areas, maybe throw some new handblebar tape on it and call it a day

 

they are the \\ dropouts

there is an early 70s schwinn continental

Mine? Yeah, they are real nice. I just went for a spin a minute ago after I got them installed. They are 40cm Profile Design Air Wing's. $40 from JensonUSA.com

The saddle is new also. Its an Eastern "Tight *** Seat." I'm not sure how much I like the fit yet. I really wanted a Brooks B-17 saddle but didnt have the cash and this Eastern seat was cheap and looks good.

I heard it only hurts during "the break in period." And then it fits like a glove. I want to find a worn in one to try out before I drop $100 bucks on one. This Eastern saddle is a BMX saddle and not terribly comfortable for cruising around.

 

Another pic...

 

i know a few people that ride brooks saddles and love them. too me, the break in period is getting your *** accustom to the seat lol.

maybe i'm just used to my comfy og filte saddles.

the original flight is still the best seat ever made IMO. Ive been riding them for 17 years, all 4 of my bikes have them
