Fixed gears and beers brah :cheers:

Old schwinns are always fun, I've lost count how many I've converted over the years. My main ride atm is a 03 pista concept, no pics here on the work comp.

What are you upgrading to?

[roscoe]

[d00d]

As for the schwinn im just wanting to restore it to like new condition so i can have a mutispeed bike for when im feeling lazy, hopefully powdercoating some parts soon. Going to try to ue as many original parts as possible.

If we could schedule it for a weekend I'm not racing I'd be down for an IA bike meet for sure.

[thegreatfnr]

Ive been riding my small wheel folding bike lately the most. Its a knockoff Dahon called a CitizenBike that is like 1/4 the cost of a new Dahon. Thing has been extremely convenient considering I just fold it up and toss it in the trunk/backseat.

I got mine from terratrike.com...there are several manufacturers out there though...

mine is an entry level 8 speed...they start around $900 for a 3 speed and go upwards...mine was $1200 and I have added about $700 in accessories to get it to my liking...best thing I have done in years to get back in shape...I bought it 2 months ago and have been riding anywhere from 5 to 20 miles or more since...already lost 12 lbs and have so much more energy...it's a great stress reliever as well...

42/15 is a pretty common set-up, shouldn't have a problem with it. I'd try out both.

Im 5'8, 145 lbs (so by no means big) and running 49/16, got a new soma 15 Im about to start using. It pretty much covers everything I need to ride in the atl. Its a little slow off the line, but it def gets 0-60 in sub 5 brah.

You know what, back in the day (I am 36), a well prepped BMX bike was about $800 in 80's money, for a decent setup. Now, most off the floor bikes have 3 piece cranks, all sealed bearings, alum frames, and so on for $300 2010 money. I think we've come a long way.

I would love to do something like that, but mountain bikes are too expensive. Also, everytime I ride one, I destroy the rear wheel. lol

Thats why i have tubeless tires. No pinch flats

ok guys since yall seem to know a good amount about bikes im tryin to find some info on a Rand Nabisco Oreo Bike and so far i havent been able to find anything on it other than a 80 model for sale for $10,000 and another not sure of year for $55 but no info on manufactor, what their worth or production numbers. If anyone knows anything about them or were i could find the info it would be apprecated

[Bigt8aford]

Here's mine,

It's a Walgoose, I know. But I go it for $200 with a nice list of features:

- Suntour 100mm front shock
-Shimano Shifters
-And some off brand disc brakes. (I weigh about 300lbs and they slow me down)

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6196/6043263389_753e8c57b2_b.jpg

That was taken at Fort Yargo. I'm hoping that maybe someone can help me out here; where the pedal crank attaches to the crank itself seems to be loose or something and you hear a clicking type noise when you pedal? Any idea of how to fix that or should I just let it ride and get another bike when some cash comes in?

[RBS]

your bottom bracket or crank arms may be loose, tighten them and the noise should go away..

[tack311]

I just started riding again after 15 years and decided to jump right in with a single speed 29er. Mine is the Gary Fisher Marlin SS,with my first upgrade being the Rock Shox Reba dual air. My Suntour fork was way too heavy. Next on the list are stem,seat,and bars. My girlfriends is a Trek 3700d,with a lot planned in the near future to lighten it up a lot and make it fit her better.

RBS,How do you like the BB7's? I am considering going to them on my Marlin.

they are honestly the BEST mechanical discs i have EVER used, smooth, consistent, quiet, and STRONG. i like them better than the Juicy series brakes, and those are hydros...

I just started riding again after 15 years and decided to jump right in with a single speed 29er. Mine is the Gary Fisher Marlin SS,with my first upgrade being the Rock Shox Reba dual air. My Suntour fork was way too heavy. Next on the list are stem,seat,and bars. My girlfriends is a Trek 3700d,with a lot planned in the near future to lighten it up a lot and make it fit her better.

My brother just bought that same Trek, larger frame of course. He got it off Craigslist. Its funny how similar my Walgoose and that bike are. I mean, we have the same rear derailer and the same fork travel. I do like how much lighter his is over all, but on the trails mine just feels more nimble.

And how's the single speed deal work? I mean do you just have to keep a constant speed across the course? I'm really wondering how you tackle hills haha.


your bottom bracket or crank arms may be loose, tighten them and the noise should go away..

I tried that on the left one cause it kept coming off. I tightened it down pretty well, I don't want to keep forcing it on there cause I might strip it, it is walmart quality lol.

I really wanted a DB Overdrive 29er, but it's a little out of my price. Where do you normally down hill ride at?

[RBS]

Where do you normally down hill ride at?


the closest place i ride downhill is at sope creek... otherwise i go to blankets creek or the area around tallulah falls. some wouldnt really consider it a "real" downhill, but to me its going down a hill LOL

[tack311]

Bigt8ford,the SS is friggin' awesome climbing. Especially with it being a 29er. You would think it would be tough,but no having to shift and just pedaling through it makes it easier. I see you are in Barrow as well as me. If you like,I would be happy to meet you at Yargo and you could give it a shot. Not sure of your height,but it is a 19" frame,so it should be comfortable up to about 6'1"-2"ish,especially for test ride. Hell,if you ever just want someone to ride with at Yargo let me know. I'm always down to meet new people.

When it comes to your "walgoose",I believe the fork is identical to the Trek's. Her's is a Suntour as well.

Lol, I enjoy the down hill parts more but the hard tail part of my bike kinda kills it on some trails.

Well my frame is 17.5 if I remember correctly, but I'm about 6'6 so yeah. A 19 inch frame would be awesome. But I think my brother and I will hit up Yargo on Sunday if you're near lets hit it up. But keep in mind I'm still getting used to riding and building my endurance lol.

Nice Fisher, need to junk those cable Avid's and get some hydraulic brakes. Their so much better. Just a tip, the QR skewers; you should point the rear one back and the front one up. Just so the rear doesn't catch anything and open.....or if you go down it can get pulled open.

[green91]

The avid BB7 are highly respected and i like their brake performance especially with the 203mm rotors, i will be keeping them. I have EBC Greenstuff pads on them too. And yes i know, i dont leave the skewers that direction while riding, they arent even tighten in that picture bc i had just taken the bike off the rack.
