yeah, the louisville slugger is still made here. I've got several bikes/parts i'm considering using. i got a west coast chopper bike for $30 that i really wanna use for the most part. the problem i see first is that it has only the stock coaster brake & , as far as i can tell, no way to mount a disc brake or any other kind that i'm familiar with. i've seen other guys have done it with this bike & i want to find some ideas on how they did it. it doesn't help that i have no machining/welding equipment or know-how.... anybody got ideas for brakes on this ride?
