i'm calling my summer project (and my first) NOPEC. so far, it consists of a 15 year-old mountain bike with dry-rotted flats all around, a front derailleur rusted beyond repair, chain rusted to death and rusted away cables.
i should probably just buy another bike, but i plan to collect parts as oppurtunity presents itself (went ahead and got a new chain). this bike has a sturdy double-butted chro-moly steel frame and some good brakes, aluminum stem and handlebars. i have a big springy Brooks B67 saddle that i picked a coupla years ago that will replace the narrow perineum crusher that's on it now.
as i mentioned in another thread, i plan on using my Economic Stimulus Check to buy a 70cc 2-stroke to power it, and maybe a hanging tank like the one Egor told me about to go on that long upper tube. not sure about which sprocket to get (44t or 56t?) for the hills. for pedaling, it'll probably be a six-speed, what with the hopelessly rusted front derailleur.
thanks for your help with my questions thus far!
