    Pinhole in BB shell joint

    1989 Wicked -latest rebuild

    A new paint job and a mixture of original, custom and low budget bike shop parts have turned my 89 Wicked from race bike to a gentleman's Town and Country cruiser. The original low and long setup was too much for the old neck, so Tokyobike Promenade bars and a Brooks saddle give me a more comfy...

    V-Brakes for Wicked?
