"Economical" you will ride for a short while, build it right and you ride for long time...lol...Economical is a really nice way to say your building it on "on the cheap" and you will always get what you paid for...If you noticed from his first post, he tried to do this on an existing aluminum frame bike he had...Results were not so good.@graggy just wants an economical bike to ride, he don't need a song and dance on mags and disc brakes.

Is my chain tight enough?Hahaha...Wish I had a nickel for everytime I have heard that one...lol...It's even more "fun" when the chain is too tight with zero give or at least a half inch of bounce to it..."KERPLANG", "THUNK", "PLOP"...lol...lol.
Its good thing I am not a mod: I would be like this fellow over topic drift.Is my chain tight enough?
Its good thing I am not a mod: I would be like this fellow over topic drift.
Thus, why I am not a mod.I have mentioned this before and I will say it once again, most of the guys in this forum actually like the friendly banter and comic relief that "creeps: in from time to time on their threads...I have offered to many the option of us removing posts that "topic drift" all but two members said they wouldn't have it any other way as they like it this way.
I remove the "drift" by request of the thread starter/owner upon their request to do so...If it's not broke, I don't fix...lol.
How true, how true...lol.Thus, why I am not a mod.
