>>1318316>Pedal threads are universalPedal threads are NOT universal. There are 1/2 inch diameter and 9/16 inch diameter pedal threads, those are not interchangeable.
>if you want to be really good, buy a lil tub of grease (any, wheel bearing, any) from an autoparts store and wipe a little on the threads so they'll be easy to remove later, but you don't have to do that.GREASE EVERY FUCKING THREAD ON A BIKE GOD DAMNIT! EVERYONE OF THEM! IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT MAKE MY LIFE HARDER!
>>1318336When I looked at the link you provided there was some nice stuff in the "near by craigslit" or whatever that is at the end of the page. I don't know how nearby they were though.
https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/d/brooklyn-panasonic-pt-3500-touring-bike/6862946648.htmlThe only true touring bike I found on there, pretty gnarly, I love panasonic bikes.
https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/d/brooklyn-trek-18-speed-touring-bike/6845276064.htmlVintage trek, classic bike right there, Not quite a true touring bike but could handle some small loads like groceries and be great for commuting and getting around town. No low riders on the fork but could hold rear rack and fenders. And it says 420 on it and that is THE WEED NUMBER DUDE AND TODAY LMAO
https://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/bik/d/brooklyn-trek-touring-commuter-bike/6866316979.htmlSlightly nicer and more modern then the 420 the 460 would also be a good choice. Though once again side pull brakes instead of cantilevers and no low riders on the fork. Could still handle a rear rack and fenders.
