I'm looking for a friend - SS or geared road bike. Looking for a frame to fit short legs, longer arms.

Ready to ride is preferred, but I'd entertain just the frame, as well.

Thanks!


For a lady maybe?

Thanks. I saw that post, but it looks like the top bar will be too short. Looking for a short bike for a knuckle dragger.

Looking for a pair of the screw-in rubber plates that come with SPD shoes. I want to turn a pair of cycling shoes into "regular" shoes for a week-end.

I can't count how many I've thrown away. Help!

I got those plates for your shoes. Are they universal fit?

WTB: Smaller, basic panniers for front rack. They don't need to be waterproof. Black or grey preferred, but I'm open to anything!

Looking for a rear mounted child seat. Don't need fancy, just mechanically sound. For a relative that finally bought his first bike and is excited to take his son for rides.

Turns out this;



is not fixable. Bottom bracket shell is ovalized to the point that the cartridge won't thread.

So, I find myself bikeless. If anyone has a similar frame to the one I've just destroyed, I'm interested in hearing a number.



This is a mid-90's Trek 6000, 18.5" (I'm 5'6"). I'm hoping to build it with the components from this bike as much as possible. (I've spent too much on bike gear this month as it is).

PM me here or 76three-two two 7-two six seven three.

Check out Sunrise - Jamie has several framesets on the far wall that would work - including two (I think) Surly 1x1s in great shape. No idea on price though

Anyone have about 2 feet of conductive thread I can have/buy? I want to make my gloves touch-screen friendly

Thanks for the tip. Went there last night, got an Al Trek 820 frame for $50. An inch bigger than my old frame, but shouldn't be a problem.
