BUILDING A BIKE SHOP NEAR CHAPMAN ELEM. – Sat. Sept. 11, 2010

Ron Toppi and friends of the Butte Bicycle Coalition are building a bike shop in the Chapman Neighborhood for the kids. So far they have the shed mostly cleaned out and the main room painted. They now need to build work benches, set up tools, clean the bike storage area and hang hooks for bikes.

Ron says: “We encourage teens who want to be involved to come out to build their shop. Tools for construction will be provided.  Food too!”

When: Saturday, September 11^th 10am – 2pm

Where: Chapman Neighborhood, 1010 Cleveland St

Who: Anyone willing to help! No need to be skilled at building or bicycles.

Other things that will be needed to pull this together: We need tools (metric please!)

• Open/box end wrenches  8mm-22mm
• Allen wrenches 2mm-10mm
• Crescent wrenches
• screw drivers, both phillips and flat all sizes
• peg board and pegs
• bicycle repair stands
• bench vice
• ball-pein  hammers
• files
• hack saw
• other bike specific tools; headset wrenches (30,32,36), cone wrenches, chain tools, chain whip, bottom bracket tools, freewheel removal tools, lockring tools, spoke wrenches, tire levers, brake/gear cable cutters, 4th hand break tool(s), floor pumps, tire levers, etc.

Thank you all very much,
