I already did - the apollo with mudguards sounds like the best thing. I recommend 39 or 42/16 gearing for use with flats.

I saw it but just passed it off for a mtb style thing. I really want something along the lines of yours. a "road"/"racing" bike?? I don't know what you call them.

actually I was mistaken. The $40 one without mudguards is the one I was thinking of. 10 speed - road style with screw on cluster. I picked up a freewheel and chain today. My total project cost has skyrocketed to $70 but that should be all. I might call that dude tomorrow.

$40 is much better than $90 or whatever the other one is. I might be interested. How do you tell it is road-style?

it has drop bars and high ratios - normally a 39/53 or thereabouts gearing on the chainrings. I have little to do tomorrow arvo so might have a look. something else important is that it has adjustable dropouts - not modern mountain bike style but probably won't be BMX style either. The dropout comes in from the front and slides up and back normally on those bikes. Essential for adjusting chain tension. Something else you want is a crankset which is bolted, not riveted, with the chainrings. You want to be able to remove one ring. If you have another set of cranks it doesn't matter too much. You also don't want cranks which are too short. 165mm is way too short, 170mm is probably still a bit short but workable. Anything over this is money. A threaded hub is also good in this case, it will look similar to a normal hub with the cogs mounted but if you look on the driveside where the cassette lockring (internal, like modern shimano style or external, like older stlye) would go there is none because the whole cluster/freewheel assembly is mounted onto, essentially, a bmx hub with a longer axle. Anyways. This looks OMFG yummy. My ratio too ! cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=7298&item=7172146632&rd=1 - Joel |

did you have a look at the bike? I had a look at some cranks and stuff that i have on my trialsed to death mongoose and the cranks are 175's with the middle ring in what looks to be great condition. the outer ring was my bashgaurd. i'll check the classifieds next week for keeness.
