LA River Trail Repaved


The LA River path has been repaved south of Fletcher towards Frogtown. Not sure how far the new paved surface extends as I was on foot and didn't venture that far. The section I saw sure is nice and smooth.

New Bike at Coco's: Diamondback Street Warrior

When this bike came in, it was filthy dirty with a BMX stem, a dorky set of upright bars, broken rear spokes and worn-out knobby tires. In other words, a typical thrift store find.

We converted to a commuter warrior with road tires, a road bike stem and a flat bar. Heavily upgraded and rebuilt including some cool new clear polycarbonite pedals that we are selling at Coco's for $15.

Good size for someone that is 5'10 to 6'. New saddle, tires, tubes, rear wheel, gear cables, brake levers, grips, pedals, brake pads, brake cables and handlebar. $250.

New Bikes at Coco's: Blue Cruiser and a Raleigh Step-through

The blue cruiser is pretty clean and affordable at $140. The new white wall tires sure look slick.

The Raleigh step-through road bike has been refurbished with a new saddle, tires, rim strips, tubes, gear cables, brake cables, bar tape and brake pads. A little more expensive than normal for this bike as it also has a brand new set of aluminum wheels with Shimano hubs. $SOLD.

New Bike at Coco's: Japanese Bridgestone Single Speed

We converted this Bridgestone ten speed into a single speed. The components were in pretty rough condition, so it made more sense to convert to a single speed. More than our standard refurbs, almost everything has been replaced on this bike. New wheels, tubes, tires, cranks, chain ring, bottom bracket, pedals, saddle, brake pads, freewheel, brake cables and bar tape.

At 62CM, this is a good bike for a 6-footer. $250.

New Bikes at Coco's: Pair of Schwinn World Tourists

57CM Schwinn Road Bike $SOLD

Schwinn step-through with a big cushy seat! $180

A pair of refurbished 1980's Schwinn World Tourists. Both have been refurbished with new tires, tubes, saddles, bar tape/grips, brake pads, brake cables, gear cables. Both are a little heavy - though lighter than the 1970's Schwinns - but ride great!

Rich buys a tandem

Our buddy Rich Roat bought a tandem and appears to be absolutely smitten with the 1980's period piece metalflake machine.
