The disassembly has begun. The drive side crank fixing bolt was extremely tight. I found out why. As I attempted to install a Park Tool crank arm removal tool the drive side crank assembly just fell off the spindle. No worries. It was getting replaced.

I’d say to make it look good for you. I would do the easy part first just like you said pedals and tires.

This one is for my daughter It was from ebay. I just learned the fact that the small frames received the Killer V treatment. I think it makes the bike unique. Then again I’m a bike nerd. The saddle and wheels were what I have on hand that I put on immediately after unboxing. I was thrilled to...

A veterinarian bill cancelled this potential purchase…

It will look good once cleaned and polished in the blue and yellow.

No clue. But it sure is a beaut!

I’ve located one that is an acceptable color for my oldest. I’ve got enough spare parts to make it a rider.

That looks fantastic! You’re hired!

I’m hesitant to post this one since I’m hoping it fits my wife. Don’t want to jinx myself before I look at it in a couple days. But heck with it. It’s really nice. It does have a MTB cassette and rear derailleur installed. Unfortunately my wife doesn’t share my enthusiasm for vintage...

Missed out on this local to me for sale 94 M500 for $40. Someone was faster than I.

Me thinks your maths are a bit off ;) 18.5 kg’s is like Schwinn Continental weight class…..

Still want to do something about the brakes though. Eventually. And the saddle isn’t a good fit. Maybe overly padded. Can’t quite put a finger on it. But it isn’t comfortable. Maybe the trail I rode wasn’t rough enough and I spent too much time sitting. Or I’m just used to my road bike. Either...

Thanks for the chat @Trav1s while we didn’t strike a deal due to my girls color preferences I still learned some likes and dislikes. It narrows the search down better. Which means more difficult. So far it’s only the dark metallic green and purple that my kids like on a Cannondale. I may be...

I like the blue color on the ST. I snagged a picture of the Super V 2000 just for fun @Jon K. The owner is claiming to have purchased it new in 1994 and only ridden it 20 miles. Does that make it worth $1500? I don’t know. I don’t follow the V series bikes much. But I think it’s the Raven that...

It does for me, but then again blue is my favorite color. I will show them the picture and see if the color pops for one of them. They are girls. There’s no telling or guessing until they say so. You probably experience that as well… If I recall correctly the Red Shred is a darker red. In...

On the hunt for a pair of small (16”) framed mountain bikes. Or maybe even a hybrid. They are for my daughters as they’ve outgrown their 20” tire bmx style bikes. Colors: purple, white, some greens. No reds. I’m hesitant to go for a small frame because they’ll outgrow them too. My local...

Beauty of a bike! It is hard to say for sure but when I try to zoom in on the gears it looks like some of the teeth are worn. A few look like they are a bit “shark tooth” looking. Maybe new chain rings and cassette. I’m going to say ebay. Look for group sets. Maybe level up to XT. Or post a...

I’ll put another picture here just for fun. It’s a picture after climbing a hill after a mishap. I discovered riding around the neighborhood on pavement isn’t the same as trail riding for a function test, post build. While riding up a steep dirt hill I did a gear change mid hill (in the wrong...

I rode The Beast near part of the old Oregon Trail. If you peek over the top of the Sage brush you’ll see the Snake River.
