Default Is there any bike related postings here anymore?

Just curious... :-) It looks more like an ebay store front.

Riding cuts into posting time and I've lately been spending more
online time bantering in a local forum with people I know and on a
"social networking" site for bicyclists:
http://www.meandmybicycle.com/

My "new" bike is a work in progress. It's the sweetest looking kids'
bike for 20" wheels. The frame is a Canadian made "Free Spirit" with
a curved down tube and twined top tubes matching that curve. Kind of
like a mixte but the twin tubes stop at the seat tube. It has curved
seat stays too. It's really just a rusty POS right now.

I'm setting it up with a Sachs 3 spd. coaster brake hub, alloy rims
and a mini ape hanger to get enough rise. The only missing ingredient
is a 25mm seat post at least 50 cm long.

The plan is to finish it black and chrome with a front basket,
folding rear baskets, fenders, generator lights and flat pedals for
quick utility trips.
