Schwinn brand, believe it or not. fits on the standard seat post, and you can adjust the seat fore and aft and tip up or down like a regular bike seat. made a heck of a difference.

To answer your second question, I used gloss spray paint and was pleased with the finish. <br /><br />If your bike runs smoothly you might get away with just masking the parts you do not want to paint, and skip breaking down to the bare frame. The flywheel is the heaviest part of the entire cycle, so be careful if you remove it.

Hi Anonymous, I hope the post has been inspiring. A lot of the parts are common bike parts, and a local bike shop should be able to help find replacements. Just make sure you take the individual pieces for them to match. <br /><br /> There were subtle variations between model years, I was able to buy a new seat with an older style clamp and mounted it to the existing seat post.

I have also made mods to mine with new shoe pedals and computer. I find that it is one tough cookie. This thing has yet to break on me and in just now going in for its first teardown. Which has me a little anxious. It is about the closest thing I have found to a road bike. In stationaryBJnoreply@blogger.com
