too bad its at walmart

done it before for fixies, it looks shweet but weighs a decent amount more and parts are slightly harder to source and getting a nice chainline for both sides can be a pain

Yea I hear ya I think my tires pushed me over hahaha so less of a build off more of a show & tell & rate gig

haha love it man Im a sucker for deep wheels on pretty much anything

Re: Craigslist nightmares and dreams... funny stories in my neck of the woods $200 at a department store gets you a ultra rare hybrid that you can apparently flip for $700 http://rochester.craigslist.org/bik/3677618281.html

hey since theres some of us that have heavy duti's and are building said heavy duti's for what seems like mainly klunking purposes would this call for a very casual friendly build off?

Im building up the other one! haha, Im personally going for maximum klunkage I"ll try and post pics but I cant figure it out haha

if you were looking for a nice rigid fork theres the surly 1x1, the model without disc tabs isnt too expensive.

Fat bikes are great for their purpose and very diverse. I have one and also laced up a set of 29er wheels for the warmer seasons. they do run everything fat specific though...100mm wide BB, salsa runs 170mm rear hub and surly has offset chain/seat stays to make up for the width, both run 135...

thats what I hate about ebay it seems everything I bid on I always end up bidding against the dude with too much money or not enough brains and is willing to pay twice the going rate but hey I don't mean to hate, good for the seller haha

I know there won't be any huge benefits to them...I just wanna make sure its not going to fold on me haha

Soooo I've been eyeing a couple dual crowns for my klunker heavy duti. I was wondering what peoples experiance is with them? Theres a couple rigids im looking at but also an old RST boinger...just wondering about people experience with them and klunking.

aahhh ok cool well maybe I'll eventually have to add one to the stables someday. I was also wondering about triple tree forks for klunking? either rigid or the RST short travel?

classic bike man you will love it...I miss my trials rigs they are super fun play bikes and the retros are pretty sweet too! good find and buy!

the dollar bill trick is legit..plastic bag I guess would be better than nothing...

brazing and soldering are not the same although very similar processes. If you are welding, it does create heat that is higher than silver solder or brazing rods melting points so it can cause either imperfections (weaknesses) or re-flow (melt) them again. This is not always the case, as said...

ah alrighty cool just wondering if there was anything substantially different. Im sorry for the 20/20 questions but whats the widest rear 26" tire the frame will take?

for future reference whats with the worksman vs heavy duti? also what seatpost diameter does the heavy duti run?

Yea I hear ya very sound advice and what I finally decided as well...I was kinda in a rush hopeing to get everything collected to build and ride as soon as the frame got here but I've decided to take my time and enjoy the build. Got some parts on order but we'll see what the future holds

hahaha oh I thought it was quite a bit older...either way thats a pleasant surprise, anyone know the approximate AtC? yea sorry I can be a geometry geek sometimes...
