Monorail thread

Hey /n/

I'll have the opportunity to choose a bicycle from a range of used ones

Haven't seen them and can't provide pictures, but they'll have the typical flaws a used bike will have, rust, flat tires, worn out brake linings, etc

What should I watch out for in this regard? I'm assuming some of these signs of wear and tear are less bad than others, and others so severe that the bike can be thrown away

tl;dr what tips can you give me for getting a used bike?

>She said a cyclist thumped the car roof as he passed and when the car overtook him she leaned out of the window and told him to be more considerate.

>Moments later, the cyclist caught up with the car and smashed the window.

Does anyone here like Baldwin/Lima-Hamilton diesels?

My last bike was picked out by you folks and I was happy with the results. Thanks in advance.

Will fixies ever die?

Is there a specific reason the chainring, chain, cogs, derailleurs, etc are all on the right side of the bike?

Post em if you got em.
