I just bought a 1983 cr60 the other day. I'm not real new to bikes as this makes number five. The little bike looks to be in pretty good shape, haven't tried to run it yet, probably on the agenda for this weekend. The only problem I know of at this point is I don't have a rear wheel at all. I'm curious if I can swap in a 12inch rear wheel and hub from another old honda? If anybody knows the help would be greatly appreciated. I'll probably just lurk around and do some reading for now.

On a side note what should I be running for mix ratio on this bike?

Thanks
Andrew

Check with Brendan at http://www.bikeboneyard.com for the rear wheel.

Who tought me this? I can't remember. Go to Google and search on the bike model, The word "parts" and the words "craigslist.org".

I found this ad looking to sell cr60 parts:
mailto:sale-879451909@craigslist.org

You should be able to use that as an email address and see what's left. Granted, it's not as safe the bikeboneyard, but it's a shot.

There were more that came up on Google, so don't stop there.
