It's impossible to go east between the river and Lincoln on a bike in that area w/o either riding on Montrose or Irving Park, or riding the wrong way. None…"
Homebuilt replied to David crZven 10.6's discussion 'Advice for Cold Weather Commuter Bicycle'"Don't forget bright lights and reflective clothing. You really want to be seen in those dusk commuting hours. Illuminite fabric is great, look for windbreakers, etc., and don't rely on little flashers for your lights, get some power behind…"

I love the bar tape on my road bike: Cinelli yellow/pink/purple "splash." I think they stopped making this color combination in like 1990, but I want to get more because they need to be redone.If anyone's in a bike shop or online and sees some, please let me know?See More
James BlackHeron replied to Homebuilt's discussion 'PARTS WANTED: Need old cranks/BB, etc.'"Your best bet is Working Bikes. I saw a single-chainring cottered crankset there 2 weeks ago in the pile of cottered cranks. Looked like a 44t but i didn't count it.
if not they have a bunch of Square-taper…"
Homebuilt replied to Homebuilt's discussion 'PARTS WANTED: Need old cranks/BB, etc.'"Well... that's not actually as helpful at you'd think on this: I have a BB spindle that should fit by that measurement, but it's too narrow, so I think a direct measurement of the spindle is all that will work.

Rachel said… - Homebuilt, I have a bike seat you could take in exchange for removing it and installing a new seat I have. BUT, it's a woman's seat: a $60 Terry that turned out to be so uncomfortable that I had to put a gel cover over it. Now I found a wide seat at a tag sale I want to replace it with. If you're interested, I'm in Edgewater at 773-295-8190.
thanks, Rachel
