Is there any bike related postings here anymore?
Just curious... :-) It looks more like an ebay store front.

"Kevin" writes: Just curious... :-) It looks more like an ebay store front. I've just passed the 8th anniversary of my stewardship of my main bike -- an old-skool MTB that somebody discarded at the closure of our last public transit strike. The only "original" parts remaining since I got the bike are the frame (even the fork is a replacement) and the Sugino AT crankset. Last week I dropped $40 for a new rear wheel c/w screw-on freewheel hub. It's a nondescript, single-wall-rim'd, straight-gauge-spoked li'l beauty. I was lucky to find something with a threaded hub. The outer walls on double-walled rims wear from braking just as quickly as single wall rims. The front wheel rim is getting fairly worn, so I might buy an whole new front wheel this weekend. Since I'm doing 40 hour work weeks, [re]building wheels eats into my precious riding time. And maybe I'll look into obtaining either a taller stem (one where the front brake cable stop is an hole bored right through the thing) or a riser handlebar. I've thought about getting a new bike; maybe a DaVinci Umbria or something like, but my current whip has served me well and faithfully, and I've become rather fond of it, and respectful of its perserverance. It's always there for me. It's gotten me home while I was in dire straits, and it's gotten me away from dire straits at home. Besides, I like having threaded eyelets for everything, a rigid fork, and old style cantilever brakes & levers. It's easier to fit fenders around old style canti brakes than V-brakes, and old style canti brake levers just feel good to me. And 18 speeds/x-over gearing inc. granny is generally more than sufficient for my needs. I bought a new rubber bulb horn for it last week, too. Maybe I'll paint the frame when (if) the weather becomes conducive. I think I and the bike would like something '60s-ish psychedelic. cheers, Tom -- "... my Preshuss ..." -- Gollum I'm really at: tkeats curlicue vcn dot bc dot ca |

conducive. I think I and the bike would like something '60s-ish psychedelic. =v= Beautiful Saturday and I'm sitting around waiting for delivery of my "psycho lime" bike. (You can google the color.) Yes. Most of us are probably out riding when we can. =v= True enough. Others are spamming when they can, though. :-( _Jym_ "There's a SEASON?" -- Yehuda Moon |

I think Niles PD has it, but I have no leverage over dos guys. My leverage has limits. Basically limited to Chicago, or Cicero. I am dat kinda guy. No one - not CPD District 16 - Niles PD - Bollingbrook PD - CFD - knows where da bike is. I am ready to write it off, and buy another. PLEASE! Do NOT make J mad. J is a rilly bad seed. J. |
