The only wrench I could buy in a 5 block radius is a 6" adjustable. Downtown: bereft of hardware. AFAIK.
― Hunt3r, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:05 (seventeen years ago) link
I have so many of those crappy adjustables (well, like three) from being out and needing one unexpectedly. I started just keeping one of the cheapies in my bag.
― Laurel, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:10 (seventeen years ago) link
i used to keep one in my bag, but now it has gone missing. which is fine, actually, since my hubs are strong testimony for why using an adjustable wrench to get yr wheels on and off is really a terrible idea in the long run
― gbx, Monday, 29 October 2007 19:56 (seventeen years ago) link
do they round the bolt or su'in? what do i get? SKOOLME PLZ

Not finished yet but this is what I am building for my girlfriend. (Damned parker international sent the last batch of components slow rather than the fast mail I asked for).
― Ed, Sunday, 22 June 2008 12:23 (sixteen years ago) link
can i be your gf too???

i found a specialized hybrid frameset only on craigslist for $20 that ive made into a racked flatbar commuter for missus. $20! sure its vintage 1994 with lots of paint chips and scuffs, but its in good shape otherwise.
so i transferred over my old commuter's bits, along with some drivetrain refurbs. it does not, however, feature powdercoated yellow semi deep section wheels. werent those on yr merckx?
― Hunt3r, Sunday, 22 June 2008 19:20 (sixteen years ago) link
Girlfriend slot already taken, I am prepared to consider concubines, though.
Wheels were on the Merckx which has had Xero XCR-1s for a while now. I did a bearing overhaul on them which should keep them going for a good while and if not it gives me a good idea of what to buy her for Xmas. (I am so happy that I have managed to persuade her to go from not cycled since childhood to happily trundling through the streets of brooklyn wanting a lighter, faster bike)

Finally replaced my stolen bike. Only going to be in Oxford/UK for another 12 months so just wanted something cheap to get around, hence this bad boy, which was £45.

Yes friends, that is real rust on the bar ends. And if you think the chainring looks a little green, that's because it's covered in mould. Rides pretty well considering!

Do you ever get the urge to yell "OGRE SMASH" while riding it? I would.

dan, I have only had it for two days, but the too high seat position does make me feel both powerful like an OGRE, while at the same time hurting my junk.
