so i crashed my schwinn and destroyed my drop bars. i was very drunk, and returning from the aptly name 'magical summer dance party'.

where can i get some old schwinnie drop bars? varsity or continental type? anyone have any leads?

i have heard a rumor that there is a guy in town with a backyard full of bikes and parts?

Drop bars, for the most part, are drop bars. Steal them off the next road bike you see locked up.

I have a couple lying around. May not be exactly what you want, but they're yours if you want them.


Actually, one of them came from Jake...if he wants it back, then I have one up for grabs.

If anthony wants 'em then they're all his! I don't have any need for them, and am trying to avoid additional clutter. Hopefully they work for someone who needs them.

Sure, I can bring 'em to mass, and I'll happily throw in the brake lever, though I'm not sure how well it works. I'm always happy to accept beer.
