the firestone is pretty stock. all done rattle can. a budget helps decide the outcome of a rat, i believe. im looking for an old radio flyer so the wife can tow my english bulldog

the higins has a springer for with the spring removed so it extends the front wheel without lowering it too badly

nice :mrgreen:
do you have the springer bolted up at all?(had a bike i did that with along time ago without bolting it....big pain it would flop everytime it was lifted)if not ya might want to try putting the threaded part that goes on the steer tube back and running just the bushing (that way you loose the 'flop' with out raising it much)
