)... and how much for the chain/lockring/cog?

With friends I biked from Collingwood to Creemore (brewery named after it) and back. The road was great, view was lovely.

I knew I'd seen that ad on CL, I couldn't find it though...
As it's two bags, it's probably not a hugely bad deal. If you could get him down to $60 it may be worth it.

Dude... that bike is a death trap. I'm surprised the head tube hasn't split from that mysterious noise yet...

lol, naw thats the other bike...the misfit (one with the creaking) stopped creaking half way down a very rooty decent, when i was playing catch up on some guys on softtails... apparently riding harder fixes problems 
this is the bike i ruined the last set of cranks on (broke the spider, and twisted the chainring to bits)

i think my emergency tool kit was built on the problems that forced my to walk home...nowadays a chain tool and some links are in there...whatever tool you don't have is the one you need - that must be some sort of murphy's law. next time try lowering the seat and pushing with your feet all wright-brothers-velocepide-19th-century-like...

i kinda did, then i started pumping which worked quite well.
question! what would one do if they were putting a 700c wheel on a 26" frame, and wanted a brake?? would they make some cool extendo thingies for Vbrakes? or are there special brakes that might work?, or would one have to tedshred it.
all the polo bike needs is
Fork
tubes
chain
chainring
chainring bolts
