    Hello everybody,

    I'm Frank, and I live in Oregon, USA. I apologize in advance if the questions I ask below are in the wrong place. If they'd be better elsewhere, just let me know, and I'll repost them.

    I would be driving my 2006 America, if it were running right now. A few years ago, I had a wreck, and I have been off the road since. I'm trying to fix up my bike now, but I'm having trouble finding a new front wheel (the old one is bent like a banana). I've tried online sites that sell new parts, and I've tried Ebay for used parts, but I've had no luck in either place.

    I have two questions:

    Are there any sources of parts you can direct me to?

    The bent rim is a spoked 18" wheel. Are there other wheels that would fit that might be easier to find?

    Thank you. I'm looking forward to browsing the forum.
