Default Why you should check motor mounts regularly!!!!

Just got my shifter kit from Pablo (SBP) last monday and eagerly started the tear-down on Terroristmobile #1 and low low and behold, after 3920mi look what happened to the seat tube ... . It's OK tho have acquired a mid 60's Schwinn cruiser 5 speed to replace the frame. Oh well, kinda explains why the A** end felt kinda squishy in the corners.
