There’s a guy doing a Kickstarter to convert a Food Truck into a Mobile Bike Repair Truck. backing can get you a pretty good deal on tune-ups.

$40 for a regular tune-up, you go to him.
$60 for a regular tune-up, he comes to you.
$85 for an advanced tune-up, you go to him.
$100 for an advanced tune-up, he comes to you.

Would one of you shorter people that can use a 56 cm frame buy this bike to keep it from taunting me much longer?

It’s a 1978 Raleigh Super Course with 531 tubing, Cyclone derailleur and Suntour barcon shifters for $200.

You could probably get the purchase price back from dkel just for the more suitable frame for his fixie.

If you ask Dismal, you should be riding a bike that is three sizes too big for you. So it makes perfect sense. :rolleyes:

Not much of a deal but a very retro-style bike to transport kids: http://boxercycles.com/product/rocket/

1986 Trek 560 – $200
Looks like 21″ frame
Shimano 600 groupset

You know it has to be good because the frame is made of Reynolds 531 Aluminum:rolleyes:
