Schwinn for brand, single speed is best.

>Schwinn for brand
They were so over-built. I have a late 70s Spitfire in my basement, but I need to true the wheel. I have a modern 29" (with Vittoria dirt tires - 58-622) cruiser that was a Wal-Mart special, but surprisingly light and well built.

On the road just go up to the maximum recommended pressure

>>1084402
What about light gravel?

of course 100. at least. get some hard gators or something thats rated for a good 115-120

It depends on the girl, of course.

Also, how popular and crowded the trail is. Will you be able to ride two abreast, and be able to talk? Does she get enjoyment out of a ride even if you can't talk to each other? Is she competitive and will want to race?

There is no way anyone can tell you if she will think its boring without knowing anything about the girl. You are the only one who will be able to answer your own question.

I know a secret website where stuff like this is for sale called ebay

>>1081723
>from china

yeah good luck with that

you trust chinese bearings to support all the power you put on a bike chain?

it's going to bind up in your derail because you bought shit bearing equipped jockey wheels and ate shit

$14.99 jockey wheels saved so much money!

$3500 dental bill

>>1081233
That's a big pussy

>>1081233
Curious as to what it's skeleton looks like.

What a miserable existence to not just be an employee of a mass transit system, but to be the actual vehicle. Having homeless people jerk off inside your ribcage, having it encrusted with vomit, split malt liquor, corn chip crumbs, ect into your interior fur, you desperately want to lick clean but you cannot fit your head into your own ribcage.

Also missing so many teeth, no doubt to reckless drivers. Very cruel and sad to be a catbus.

>>1081233
In the summer at night, if you feel a strong breeze out of nowhere, it's usually a catbus.

You have to go out and test a bunch until you find what is good for your body. Plenty of shops have test saddles so you don't have to buy a bunch of saddles that don't fit you.

>>1079465
The latter, focusing on sitbone width
Also make sure your saddle is level with the ground or ever so slightly tilted, any saddle will feel like an ass hatchet if it's not properly set up.

>>1079492
What if the saddle is concave? do we want the ass part flat? Or the thin part flat (which makes the ass part tilt forward)?

put it on rails and it's even more /n

>>1078231
Indeed, I like that thanks for sharing.

>>1078231

holy shit that is /n/ approved all right

Shock pumps are for adjusting air suspension.

>>1085545
so I can just get an air pump for the tires and be good to go?

>>1085547
Yup. Floor pumps are more convenient for home (long hose, t-handle, larger volume fills tires in less pumps). But you should have a portable pump for fixing flats on the road.

An old smartphone

>>1085511
Data connection Strava doesn't work off wifi

>>1085521
Sure it does. All you need is the GPS to work. When I forget my bike GPS and use my phone I usually put it in airplane mode to conserve the battery when I use Strava. It just won't upload your ride till it has some kind of data connection which can be wifi.

A decent battery in the phone is one thing you need.

>>1085331
>shitty fork
>shitty shock
>front derailleur in mtb nigga pls

Good luck on finding spareparts and shit with that assbike. If you dont have money on decent fs dont buy one.

>>1085335
>It's Suntour so it must be shit
>Implying you can't just remove the front derailer and extra chainrings if you wanted


It's a fine bike OP. I can't comment on how good value it is (not my currency and I don't know any other sites to look on) so you may be able to get better for the price but it's by no means a bad bike.

Where do you live? Get the YT Jeffsy for 2 099€. You have to wait a bit for it but it is one of the cheapest full sussers worth buying in my opinion.

>>1085014
You either do it or you don't do it. The thing you should not do is do it and be nervous and shaky the entire time you're riding on a public road. Nervous shaky unconfident people get in accidents. You have to not give a fuck about the traffic, ride as safely as you can, and otherwise ignore the cars. Don't do anything stupid, don't make sudden moves, don't swerve around, hold your line like you're supposed to. If there's a line painted on the street indicating where the traffic lane ends and the paved shoulder begins, you stay to the RIGHT of that line (or the LEFT, if you're in a country where they drive on the left side of the road). Three quarters of a mile is NOTHING. I ride in the middle of nowhere for miles and miles all the time, where there is in essence no speed limit at all, have been doing it for years, and I'm still alive and have all my original bodyparts, so I think you'll be just fine -- so long as you're not a Nervous Nelly the whole time. To reiterate what I said above: If you're going to be all nervous and shaky the whole time, then don't do it at all. Lack of confidence will get you killed as fast as anything else.

>>1085014
>but I'll have to go about .75 miles on a four lane road with a 45 mph speed limit and no shoulder or sidewalk. Any advice how to do this safely?
Pick a different path

There's plenty of advice but I think the key ones are:
1. Visibility.
2. Intention of action.

Get some high-vis gear and some lights for dim weather (like the mornings). You can never be too well lit-up.

Intention of action: Make it clear to drivers what you are doing. Indicating, looking, and try and make eye contact with drivers at junctions.

You can find more advice online.

As for your path- 4 lane road... 45mph speed limit... Find another way. Seriously.

>implying I bought it to commute around flatland
>implying I didn't buy it to ride singletrack in the mountains

I'm fucking loving it, but I want to fucking end myself every time they interview new rail employees, been rejected by every TOC with a Scottish base because I live more than 10 minutes from those bases on-application, so it's just personal jobhunt cringe sometimes

Vicki a quaint

I can't wait for them to get to the highlands but it's gonna be sad because by then the whole thing will be nearly over.

Also, looking at the older London Underground videos on Geoff's channel, I reckon Vicki hasn't aged one bit in like the last 7 years. How does she do it?

>>1082267
>How does she do it?

It's the quaint genes, anon

>>1079065
GP-38s and GP-40s reign supreme.
Also, it's not shunting. It's called switching.

>>1079537
In the UK where I am from it's called shunting.
