<p>I have been developing a bicycle to elliptical conversion kit called Up-Ride. I have entered the boca bearings contest to try to win $5000. I am trying to get votes. I am struggling to figure out ways to get awareness. Any ideas?</p>

<p>This is super important to me as the money will be used to go to taiwan to meet with the manufacturers I have been talking with. </p>

<p>Joseph</p> Cool Names For A Black Bicycletag:thechainlink.org,2011-07-17:2211490:Topic:3827832011-07-17T21:47:31.173ZChristian Branchhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/ChristianBranch
<p>I've recently decided to give my bicycle a name. I know it's kind of cheesy but I know a lot of people who do it. I figured people name cars and musical instruments so why not? I'd prefer a name that is color specific or would have something to do with the mood and look of an all black bicycle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All ideas - zany, emo, hip, etc. - will all be considered. </p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kinda new to the whole world, but I'm looking to dive in. I started test-riding a couple bikes at Roscoe Village Bikes (I think that's the name). Kim was a great help, and I really enjoyed the road bikes, but a new one is a bit out of my price range. The Jamis Satellite Sport was a nice ride, but $675. I know that's around the starting price for a new one.</p>

<p>Thus, I'm looking for used. My budget is about $400. I have no problem buying one and taking it in to get a bit of work, but I'd love some advice. OR!! If you have one you're trying to sell, I'd love to talk about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've gone to "A Nearly New Shop" on the north side, but the guy I always end up dealing with seems like I'm inconveniencing him asking questions. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance!</p>

I spent an outrageous amount of money renovating a 1983 peugeot 10 speed into what was ultimately a beautiful reincarnation of a vintage bike. THEN some dumb bastard in his SUV T-Boned me and I have been trying to recover this bike. Any who, I just discovered that among the damage (I re-built both wheels and bent the frame back into shape) the rear hub is bent. Soooo, I am asking where I can get a cheap single hub for a 24 spoke rear wheel (700c). Yous guys are the greatest!<br />

Thanks in advance…
