I'm moving and the new area to me, has some sort of gravel paths (will be there in a few days not too sure what it all has) and well it may be more of a rocky then gravel.

What can a 700c rim handle? I was looking at getting a BigBoxStore Road Bicycle for around $200
(its for fun, dont got money to be blowing on stuff, as I go fishing sometimes, radio controlled cars, and computer stuff)
what if I did a wheelie? on the mountain bike that is somewhat mine, but kinda cruddy I try to ride wheelies on it (I had to make the front tire less PSI, had too much sting when putting it back down)

Thanks,

Looking at a old roadbike and I'm probably not gunna invest in shift/brake levers (would love to have em tho)
but it has downpipe or stem shifters? not sure what word fits better.

Pretty much im wondering what your bike has and are they comfortable/cheap/etc?

Thanks,

Well im new here,
couple nights ago I road a bicycle for the first time in quite a few years
and enjoyed it, but the bike I was riding felt quite small (mountain bike 21spd 40lbs) making it harder to petal then should be.

So couple days later I go looking on craigslist (Austin of course) for a used road bike under $100

This is one of the bikes that interested me

http://austin.craigslist.org/bik/3845082695.html

I do realise that im probably asking quite a bit to find a good bike for under $100 but I do expect to be changing some tires/tubes and cables

and possibly rims/spokes etc?

How easy are parts to get, how much is a new tube or new tire?
I think this bike has 27" tires? I went on ebay and seen almost none? (I think $20 is good for a tire?)
How universal are parts for bicycles? (I seen some 700c wheel parts? would that even fit?) one part (say I get this bike) I will eventually replace the crank and rods maybe petals

How much would this stuff be?

Also can I ride on the roads here in NAustin area/ round rock/ pflugerville
tho I do not have a license or permit?

(I'll probably repost some of my questions in the new rider part :)


Thanks,
