Hi all I am from SE Pennsylvania, I am wanting to build a commuter bike. Cut way back on the automobile use.. even if it is a bio diesel. Up to now I have been a regular bike rider ( just bought bikes from the bike shop..not walmart)
so I know little about gear ratios ectera. So any help would be appreciated.
My commute is 50% country and 50 % 3rd rate city..Yes I ride in winter time.
Thanks for letting me intro myself hope to learn alot by reading the boards
Peace

Hey FIBROMAN!

Welcome to the forum. I see you've already picked up the anti-walmart sentiment that pervades the site like an evil mist with an adjustable spanner. One word out of line and it undoes your wheels nuts!

Now what's this about a 3rd rate city? I didn't know you'd been to Kingston upon Hull.

What is Manayunk?

Is it the sound of a cyclist realising that he's about to run over a pedestrian, and then actually running over him?
