I have bike parts all over the basement and could possible build another bike from them just merely from this evening when I tried to combine two bikes into one so I could do a ride tomorrow. It was unsuccessful as I "don't do brakes." Never-the-less, I ruined my off-white capris, the brakes locked up on the Raleigh because the wheels I put on it were 1/8" bigger. I am not mechanically inclined at all but am finding that this biking thing requires a certain amount of mechanical ability. Being female I want to scream and cry, but instead, I'm trying to be calm, drink wine and just not worry about it. At least I have a mountain bike that I can take out my agressions with.
