Essential tool to deal with stubborn problems

I received what I consider to be one of the most essential tools in the Park Tool collection. The Park Tool BO-2 helps with the most serious bike maintenance challenges. It was a good gift :)

I have lived in Iowa in Iowa for 15 years and lived in nine other states before Iowa. Florida was the flattest. For about half of my 15 years in Iowa I did a lot of work with elected officials. One...

Need? I suppose I don’t need 18, and don’t need this bike at all. I just wanted the saddle for $20 but it came with the bike and I found the bike to be kind of neat and interesting.

I would love to have an 18-30 (or 34, or 36) and a 50 or 52-11 on the other end and a good selection of choices in between. To me the wacky thing is that it appears that this setup was done in a...

LOL. I just checked and the chain is way too long for the 18-30 combo and too short to reach the 48-13 combo. I think I’ll just keep the saddle and donate the bike to the co-op where it can be used...

Ok, so I am really hoping someone can enlighten me. I saw a listing for an old Brooks saddle for $20 but it came with a bike I didn’t want. I figured I would take the saddle and donate the bike to...

the sticker was not discernible. All I could make out was a CH and the rest to the sticker was missing or the letters were faded away. If I had to guess I would say it could have been a bike shop...

That’s what I thought, but now I have to figure out what to do with it - this wasn’t on my radar and I don’t have a good sense of a fair value if I were to sell it. See what I get for looking at FB...

Interesting old Kuwahara Caravan Tour

I happened to notice a Brooks saddle for sale on FB for $20 and then realized the listing said the bike and saddle were a package deal for $20. I wanted the saddle and not the bike but took both for...

Cool. Thanks. I enjoyed this. I am looking at the All-City Cosmic Stallion so I appreciated this info about the zig zag which does seem to have some similarities.
