San Francisco: Small parts help?
Hey guys
I am trying to build up this conversion as a winter bike. Do you have any of these things spare, and can I barter for their ownership with food or beer? Please let me know.
One track nut. I went on a ride tonight carrying my new "junker" rear wheel and one of the nuts worked its way off during the ride.
One lock ring. That stock Pista/KHS one you're embarassed to use these days.
One cheapo 700c front wheel. Quick release or not, tired or not, preferrably truer than not.
Other larger items Im intent on buying: Pedals, maybe SPD-SL for my shoes, maybe MKS with clips. Stem, a girly riser one like Clayton rides. A brake lever that fits these bars I got. Cheapo seat. Cheapo seatpost.
Damn, I dont have very much do I? I didnt even mention fenders.
Thanks
Alex

yes, you do. and you have to rescue people from the top of SF st. who can't skid down while it's raining. And you have to wear an ugly outfit and do this all to some really crappy soundtrack too.

I have my stock KHS seat if you want it. I would have a wheel but left those at my parents house when I moved up.

I have a Slayer CD you can listen to while you build it. Also a DA lockring if you want it.
Wow! You called my stem girly!
You can have the CD and Lockring for free but the girly stem comment will cost a lot!

sixpack it is. You have to drink it before I leave your house/ you leave my house though.
