Hey! I ain't racing you if you're running a three speed. :mrgreen:

Or at least I need more than a 10' head start...
I tried being serious, but it was boring.

For the bars you could get some ladies comfort bars and bend the ends in so they are paralell with each other, then shorten them a little, they look fast like that, tilt them up a little for a bit of rake.

I need a cablestop for my shifter,anyone know where to get one??

Also I know my chain is loose,I need a halflink to make it work.
I just had to give it a spin,I have my old chain soaking in vinegar...


The reason I was trying out apehangers is an idea I have...
I plan on making a wheelie bar out of that pile of frames I have in a picture
earlier in this thread...

I'm thinking of making a place to put drop bars on the wheelie bar so I can
ride to the dragstrip in comfort...Then once there put the "go fast" drop bars on...

Kind of a run what ya brung thing.......Stupid?????

I think with the apes I need a front tire that matches the back......But then my whole Gasser bike theme would be gone...
Guess I could also mount my front race tire on the yet to be made wheelie bar along with the go fast drop bars....

My mind is going crazy!!!!!
