Stretched@Birth Posted January 31, 2015 Share It now has tyres that fit! I've forgotten how difficult it is to get into toeclips, especially when the pedals can't stop turning. Going to swap them out for something clipless, and head to the track soon! EvanB, Loose cog and DJR 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quintonb Posted February 1, 2015 Share Not quite a bicycle, but a poster. My mom bought it for me when I was about 15(now 40).They were cleaning out and found it. I saw it in Game back in the day and always wanted it. So my mom went to buy it and it wasn't for sale. She said she wasn't leaving the shop until someone sold it to her, eventually the manager made a plan and I got it for Christmas. Pretty cool to see it again. Thanks Mom DJR, Rolfalps, Ed-Zulu and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beattbox Posted February 1, 2015 Share Can anybody help me with what year this neat Gary Fisher Wahoo was produced. IMG-20150122-WA0001.jpgIMG-20150122-WA0002.jpgDecisions, decisions.That looks very similar to my Gary Fisher Tassajara, 1994/95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted February 1, 2015 Share Tcha! Flip foot down, slide foot forward, begin pedalling. Toe clip noob!I started racing with toe clips, with shoes with slotted cleats, we are spoilt with clipless pedals. The challenge is getting your foot in when the pedals don't stop turning (fixed gear) LeTurbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarickH Posted February 4, 2015 Share After reading through this entire thread I am feeling very inspired to fix up an oldie. I quite like the idea of a Bianchi. Realistically, what would it cost to purchase and fix up a Bianchi. I know that's like asking how long is a piece of string, but I don't want to be caught out spending waaayyy to much money on such a project. I realise that fixing up an oldie is a project of passion, but one must keep the cost in mind. How difficult is a frame to source, and how difficult are parts to source? What is the general feeling here; should the bike remain as true to the original? Sorry if these questions seem dumb, I'm very new at this.
