I have come to the realization that it will be much easier and cheaper to just buy a replacement. My bio; 45 years old bike owner for ten (10) years, two kids, nine and 11, commodity trader by day (15 years), guitar player and coach at night, married 14 years, what else: 5' 9" 180 lbs. most interesting fact is probaby that I was a professional bicycle racer for 7 years in my twenties; not good enough to race the tour, but good enough to make a living eating banana's and power bars and riding a bike. that's all I have got; oh, I live in Minnetonka, MN. and was born in Minot, ND. before my speedmaster, I had a Honda Magna, 750; hope that helps with reality check
