i really need to downsize, they're taking over my apartment.


anyone want a small panasonic frame/fork?

or a antique jc higgins girls bike?

or a 60's womens varsity?

i hope to have a house with a basement next year (although it'll be in baltimore probably) so i can let my hobbies run rampant.

basement! Hidden away in the dark? sacrilege! What you need is wallspace to properly mount that panasonic, varsity and higgins for all to admire. I saw a link recently, http://www.cycloc.com/cycloc-features.html. A little spendy maybe, but what cost fashion?

do you happen to know the panasonic size and frame material?

its tiny. 44 cm c-c. I picked it up because it came with a new crank, spd pedals, and a fixed/free wheelset, thought i could build it for a friend, but that fell through and the frame is waaaay too small for me to keep. panasonic sport, has a sticker that says high tensile 1020 steel.

wow. that's way too small for the person I had it in mind for. Best of luck.

yeah i don't know who needs a bike this small. its pretty cool looking with a top tube that curves up a lot to meet the head tube (to fit 700c/27 inch wheels i guess) but... like i said, tiny. craiglist it will probably go once i get my camera back

looking to build up a mountain bike for my wife, she's 5'3"
