    I would find her area, google a local bike shop near her, call the shop and negotiate a box and ship. Make your deal with the lady and have her drop the bike to the bike shop. Pay the box and ship charge to the bike shop and the deal is done.. That is how I did the deal on my XX Team. I think I paid $60 for box and ship from Tenn to Texas.

    Two offers were made. I guess they were not acceptable.

    I guess the upside is it makes our bikes more valuable.

    I could give you the answer, but I would have to measure the seat tube on my XX to get the answer. Just measure the OD of the seat tube on your bike, (appx 6 inches from the top), and purchase either that size or the next size down. Mine fits pretty tight on my seat tube. I have to spread it out to make it fit..

    Look for a local Kart track and check it out. Join the World Karting Association. They have this new CHONDA class to race these days using these Chinese Honda motors. It is fast and is an affordable class. I
    The Italian motors we used in the 90’s are way too cost prohibitive these days. You would spend as much for an Italian connecting rod as you would a replacement CHONDA engine. Chassis are about $1500-2000. Tires are expensive if you want to win. We would go through 2 sets in a weekend in the state series races. Rebuild the engines and crank bearings every 2 race weekends. This to avoid having to replace the $400 TKM connecting rod (1992 prices). Just saying.. 104 octane racing fuel. Transport. Spares. I hear you can race a CHONDA for a year without a rebuild. Fun Fun… Mountain Bike riding is still a cheaper sport..
    And the wheel bearings were not a spec item for inspection back in those days.

    Spray a little TriFlow in there and will solve that issue.. When I raced Emmick Karts in the early 90’s, we use to drill the wheel bearing seals to accept the TriFlow nozzle and give it a little spray to lower the viscosity of the wheel bearing grease. It made the Kart roll easier and I can say, every little bit helps in competition..
    This was a Bullet chassis with a Komet K55 100cc controlled engine.
