    ORBO Voting Off Road

    Only 35 voters so far!?! That's less than build threads... 🤨 I think we could do better! Right? (especially with more then 500 views!)

    What have you been riding lately?

    Today it was time to put some (protest) miles on my new ride and show off another hidden feature, the "underfloor lights" I rode one more time with the group RespectCyclists through Berlin and @camus joined as well. You can see us riding along at 00:25 and 00:45 in the video of the linked...

    SWB0 CobblestoneRat

    Yeah, it has become a sneaky punk cruiser rat. It rides like a charme since the shifting and some other small issues have been dialed in. But there are still some kinks to iron out: the seat post is too smooth and the clamp even with shims cannot keep it from sliding down the seat tube during...
