    My OP Roller "3i" - The "Poor Man's Electra Townie"

    Here's my "OP Roller 3i" (Townie Clone) I just upgraded the tires and added a 3 speed internal rear wheel kit with shifter. Its a real pleasure to ride now with the 3 speed internal hub and the extreme light weight chasis. I'm especially pleased with these Kenda tires over the stock tires. The...

    OP Roller Single speed to 3 speed rear wheel conversion

    I've got a 26" men's OP Roller beach cruiser and I'd like to convert it from single speed to 3 speed with a Shimano/Nexus internal 3 speed rear wheel conversion kit. My question is whether the rear forks are wide enough to accomodate the new 3 speed hub wheel? It looks like the wheel is wider...

    OP Roller to Electra Sparker (on a budget)

    Paint over paint with sand and primer?

    I'm getting started on my first project, converting an OP Roller to an Electra Sparker clone. The OP folks have already got me most of the way there right off the rack (the bikes are near carbon copies of one another), but there's a few tweaks I want to make. First, I'm looking to paint the...

    Will these fenders fit a beach cruiser frame?

    I really like the look of these, and the price, but they look too narrow to fit a beach cruiser wheel. They don't specify a fit other than "26 inch" Serfas Traditional Style Bicycle Fenders Thanks in advance for the help. I'm looking to dress up my brand new $79 Wal Mart Special (OP Roller...

    Adding gears to a single speed cruiser (Wal Mart OP Roller")

    I just picked up a 26" OP Beach Cruiser from Wallyworld. I'd like to add gears via a rear wheel kit. Prefer 5-7 speed, but might settle for 3 depending on cost. I'm considering these two options: Avenir Joytec/Weinmann AMUZ 36H Nutted Rear Wheel with 5-7 Speed Freewheel Hub Shimano Nexus 3...
