I think it is time to update this thread...
Some of you might have noticed that "Black Betty" has been turned into the "Rustman" or maybe better "Flakeman"...

The only thing I will change, or better have to change is the rear hub. The SRAM Automatix is just not enough for hilly landscape. I will put my good old SRAM S7 in.
