Another idea would be to lop down a worn out chainring. Mounting bolt
holes are pre-drilled. A friend did that to mount a light to the
small Nitto front rack that Rivendell sells. I like it enough, may
have to blatantly copy the idea.

I've had a bike done by Airglow! Great work, and great to work with. I
will eagerly await pix. I can identify with you on going back and forth on
colors. Every car you look at is a potential color. Somewhat ironic about
the decals, I was wondering the same thing, if I ever do something so
No; I bought a 6' length at True Value. I could have used 1 cm wide
stock instead; I bought the 2 cm stuff for another project.
IIRC, the 2 cm stock was about $8 to $10 for 6'.

I was just this morning realizing how happy I am not to have
goatheads. Santa Rosa (CA) was loaded with them in the city, but I
never had a problem in Annadel Park. I set my wife's 3 speed up with

I'm also curious. I used to live in NY and couldn't quite figure out
where to go. I don't have a car, so maybe that was part of the
