    Who knows about MOPEDS?

    Is Beneilli G2 the bottom level in the Benelli line? I believe Benelli mopeds were sold by Montgomery Wards back in the late 70's?

    Do they make an actual 22mm seatpost?

    I am having a hard time finding a 22mm seatpost. Here is my dilemma: I found an old school 26" BMX frame, that was obviously custom made in the late 70's/early 80's. The seatpost tube measures exactly 22mm. Here are the seatpost diameters that do not fit- 22.2mm, 7/8", and 13/16". What I...

    Who knows about 26" UKAI rims?

    These are 26" UKAIs. They seem to be late 79/early 80 rims, based on the bike they came off of. Any idea if UKAI actually used this font/lettering in their early days?

    Cycletruck Question

    I do not have a Cycletruck of any sort yet, as I have not found one complete and cheap enough for me to restore. But my interest in one is because as a kid, after my paper route job, I worked part time after school for three years, in a deli/grocery store in NYC. Because of the locale, we...
