Just started rebuilding my '94 Robinson SST. Have the original handlebars but switched them out for a more narrow set I had lying around.
Obviously needs a lot of work still but I'll post back once its complete again.
Been out of bikes for a while. Can anyone recommend some decent wheels / crank / pedals / brakes? Not looking to go all out, just get best bang for the buck parts.
For brakes I wanna get ones where the cable pulls from the center of the brake, not from the side. Have the latter style on my mountain bike and hate it.

Yea I see what you're saying. Saw someone selling my same bike on ebay for around 300.
I'd still prefer to keep this frame though since its kinda rare and really light imo.

All my bikes were from the flea market in San Jose. All I cared about was that it had to have a handlebar and crossbar pad, the letters BMX on it, and it had blue on it or it was blue. Once I got older and realized I had a weak bike. I begged my parents for a GT or some other BS cuz the kids down the street had them. When we went to the bike shop they saw the price tags, they sh$t their pants a little and walked out. So I was like whatever I don't care my bike still kicks ***. Then later on I found skateboarding again, but that's a whole nother story 
I have an early 90s BOSS USA XL Frame, Boss 3 piece cranks, SE landing gear (ORIGINAL not remakes) Pitbull Rear brakes, Answer 2 piece handle bars, DK neck, Araya Rims with Redline sealed hubs flip flop rear.
I wish i had held onto my old Powerlite XXL Team Bike. The Bike was so sick A friend traded me his 1967 Plymouth Satellite with a 383, flowmasters, american racing wheels and the car ran!!!

So I'm thinking of getting a bike for leisure riding but I also want to have it be comfortable for 10+ mile rides. I was thinking about getting a Trek Hybrid 7000.
Anyone have any better suggestions?
