OK, so we've been building bikes at the Rabbit Hole, and need some parts ASAP!
We need these as soon as possible, and by that I mean this week if you guys want more fun freaks to ride at Salton Sea.
We need:
26" coaster brake wheels, really need a couple of these so if you've got one lying around (or even an old beach cruiser you don't need any more we can take it off your hands and make something awesome out of it...)
These are imperative, we need at least one of these before Friday for Salton Sea.
Also need:
any 3/32" (standard size, not fixie or coaster brake size) chain
any large handlebars (i.e. beach cruiser, ape hanger, or even high rise BMX style bars)
a 26" cassette style rear wheel
Also our little build shop could use any tires and tubes people can spare.
We'll also take old frames (even bent and/or unusable ones).
We're pretty broke, so I'm really asking for donations here, but any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
If you can help, it would be awesome and completely in the name of extra F.U.N. bikes, particularly for Salton Sea...

If you want to donate, contact me (Fuzz) at my email ( to mr blanchard @ g mail . com - minus the spaces, it's also in my profile), or by phone at (nine four one) seven two six - zero zero three six.

Also, so the bikes that need these parts (to get you guys excited) the two 26" coaster brakes are for two springer choppers we just finished, but need rear wheels.
the other shit is for the Tandumb, the four person freak tandem that I'm trying to finish (all it needs is parts...), but any other donations would be cool, as we will keep building RAD shit for y'all to play with.

Springer bike one:

I've got some stuff. But you're gonna have to come see and get the stuff yourself.

I HAVE A PAIR OF MID SIZED CRUISER HANDLEBARS YOU CAN HAVE. I CAN GIVE THEM TO LARSEN TONIGHT AT POLO.

I have a 9 speed chain than I can bring over.

is 9 speed 3/32? or is it smaller? the chain is for the tandumb, and needs to fit standard cranks.

i have a 1/8th chain and a 3/32nd chain you can have. a 1/8th will work on standard cranks as long as its single speed and you arent switching gears or keeping the cassette on the rear wheel. the 1/8th will be noisier though, but you enjoy making noise.

This is in your best interest, especially if you will be at the Salton Sea.

well, tyler, I actually need 3/32 for pretty much all the reasons you said. Due to the construction of the drivetrain on the tandumb, I need 3/32" pitched chain...
