Boy, I can hardly wait! Two weeks seems like eternity. I'm like a kid waiting for Xmas.

I will probably be looking for a heavy duty utilitarian style. I have a rack with an integrated center stand, retro style, that I plundered from a Dutch donor. I will try to make it shift through both chainrings with the help of this derailer. I have some front derailers too, some mtb shifters...

My Torch had the bars that high and it was awful to ride. I rode it home like that after I got it. I removed them and installed clip ons.

I had an extended bike last year in the BO too. But probably not this time. I think I will build up my spare Felt Haribo frame. I have some cool brackets... I have a wheelset. I have an idea in which direction I go...

They are "loop bars", I gather.

I don't know why you consider these pity votes. Even the worst bike could have something that someone likes and is ready to vote for. I don't see any need for a change. If it is not broken don't fix it.

Sure, pedal power is a requirement on RRB anyway.

Not sure if we need an extra class for electric bikes. A conversion seldom requires extensive modification. The electric motor simply makes pedaling easier, just like any transmission does - a different principle for sure, but the desired effect is less effort for the rider in both cases. I...

Quite comfy. But I have to say that the bike has a Brooks B190 seat too.

Continental has nice 29" tires, RIDE Cruiser: They also offer them in black or brown, I don't know about other colors. Available in 2" or 2,2" width, also available in 26", I used s 29x2,2 in the rear and 26 x2,0 in the front.

Exactly. I must admit I had to do this procedure only three times so far, so I simply used a large flathead screwdriver that I positioned on the BB cup and NOT between the cup and the BB housing. The first time I used a rubber mallet, out of fear I might damage the frame. It took me half an...

Well you can make a dedicated tool out of a piece of pipe. You need it to be a little less in diameter than the BB. Then cut one end in a cross pattern, maybe four inches, this will make the ends spread a little so they will rest against the BB cup and when you hit with the mallet the force will...

And it worked like a charm. Unfortunately the seat is quite hard so I will replace it with this one, which is identical, except that it is still intact:

After some riding I replaced the seat with this one: Quite nice, but still not how I want it. It either lacks a bit in height or in length. Today it dawned on me that I most enjoy this bike when I sit lower. So I had a quick look at dropper posts, which is usually the perfect solution, but even...

This is very cool. I want to sit lower too, but can't get a regular seat far enough from the crankset to be really comfortable.

Just a quick update - I installed the front wheel with the 29" tire but found out that it looks quite like a regular Cruiser with both wheels that large. It actually looked like a 26" Cruiser because the big wheels made the extended frame look shorter, as well as the fork. It took a lot away...

Hi guys, it seems that I have misplaced some of the black washers of my Abraham linkage double Springer fork. I missed two of the big ones during assembly and now I only found one. Would anyone have a source for these where they can be ordered? Preferably in Europe?

Some might remember this bike from the last BO: It has a 29" tire in the back and 26" in the front. I rode it some and changed the seat and the seat post to make it more rideable. Had to raise the stem too: It needs a front brake in order to be street legal, also reflectors and lights. So I...
