Get a bike. Preferable with big wheels. I'm using a frame that was on

clearance at WalMart for $130. My guess is it was stock from winter, as

these tires are supposedly good for snow (we didn't exactly have a lot

of it this year though...maybe that's why the frame was on clearance?

:P) This frame is alright, however the suspension is a little on the weak side.

Replace the seat. Seriously, get something a bit more comfortable, preferably with a little padding/springs. Even small bumps at the 30mph this bike does, even with the large tires, is still enough to make you wish you had. The old seat seen here is literally vinyl or some other cheap material, over a plastic molded shape. Invest a good $25 or more in something decent. Your back and bum will thank you later.

Take it for a test ride. Always test your things BEFORE modifying/hacking them. Not only does this give you a better idea of how things are supposed to work, it also gives you a chance to check for faulty hardware and other problems before you really dig in. In particular, I noticed the brakes will need beefing up...more on that later.

To be continued...

I have more projects to enter, and just wanted to get started on the documentation of this one. If you would like me to elaborate on anything specific, leave a comment below, and Ill be sure to give some extra attention to that :) Thanks for your patencie!
