I recently acquired a Murray cruiser that had previously belonged to my Grandfather. After he had it, my dad had it and spray painted the hell out of it...
In any case, (and I know it's not worth the money or time put in, but I want to do it anyway), I'm wondering if there's somewhere (online possibly? that way I can avoid doing actual work when I'm at work) where I can look up parts (it's going to need wheels, a new crank probably, maybe some new fenders... etc etc etc) and see how much I'm in for? It's easy to find places online that sell bike wheels, but not so easy to find a set of coaster wheels...
I'm probably in over my head, but that's probably the best way to learn, I figure... anyone have an ideas?
