No more going into the office with grease stains on the pant legs. I don't get why they have to make that bike a single speed though. Single speed bikes are no good outside of a few flat cities. Why couldn't they use a multi-speed hub? Love that chain drive! No more going into the office with grease stains on the pant legs.

They make them all by hand. My mom got one for her cruiser and loves it. http://www.peterborobasket.com/c-48-bicycle-baskets.aspx @Ruth: I’m not sure where to get that exact basket, but check out Peterboro Baskets in NH.

Even with meticulous maintenance a chin will become worn and will in turn wear out your cluster and to a lesser extent your chain rings. A chin must be replaced or it will cost you more than a chain, beside your shifting will improve. Sorry but just because your chain doesn’t break doesn’t mean that it isn’t worn out.
