    Wait a minute, I thought most bikes posted on craigslist were Schwinns? You mean they're not? I was looking forward to getting one o them Schwinn Mongooses. ;) It'll have breaks and peddles and everything.

    jc higgins motorbike

    Be careful on that, I put a motor on an old Evans cantilever frame and it broke the down tube clean off at the head tube. It could have ended badly. Just be careful and keep a close eye for cracks in the frame.

    Tell us what ticks you off..

    People who drive ridiculously fast down residential streets just to make it to the next stop sign, even when there's kids playing outside. Gets my blood a-boilin'.
