I don't know if you saw but this bike later became a casualty of storing it too close to pool chemicals. Tragic, I really liked everything about this bike. I plan to replace it with something identical in color and style. I might go new as there are a few companies that offer something similar. It's a cool style I think and with the 27" wheels and mustache bars it was like driving a bus or something, really plush ride. Chris Thanks Johnny.

I had it powder coated, new crank, new brakes, saddle, tires, handlebars, . Some of those items I found used, others were new and spendy, like the Techtro brakes. If I had to do it again I might use a more valuable (and better) frame, but this was very much an experiment and proof of concept so to speak for me. Had I just made it a fixie or single speed (and kept all the original bits) it might have made more financial sense. - Chris Johnny, I have no idea but it was a fortune to be sure.

A quick trip to a local bike shop should fix you up, though. I often bring my bike by mine just to ask how to do something Julieta, I did that so long ago I forgot what I did.
