    STBO Mixte Feelings

    Just visited my campground stash. I think this, together with the donor bike should give me some nice options...

    What have you been riding lately?

    2h and 15min later we reached the Brandenburg Gate. We were around 120 riders, that enjoyed the quiet early morning city waking up (or in the busy corners going to sleep) The Wolverine was the obvious choice for this ride, as these were the street markings we followed: Now I'll have some...

    STBO Mixte Feelings

    Since about three weeks now I tried to pick up this frame. Today I finally made the two hours roundtrip on bike to get it home... I went there with to spare wheels... When I came back home, it was dark already... It's a nice Motobecane mixte frame, that's in need of some love (and grease)...

    So it looks like the term "wardrobe" like I used it, is a "false friend" as the English teachers at my school would call it. 🧐 Thanks for the insight! I'll use the term rack for it from now on (I'll probably write an instructable about the trailer in the not so distant future). 👍

    Versatile cargo Trailer

    Interesting hitch concept! 🤔 And obviously a very sturdy trailer! 😎 I like it down at the axle. I keeps the trailer pretty stable and reduces the risk of tipping it.

    Versatile cargo Trailer

    Versatile cargo Trailer

    As a lot of the Berlin car drivers are pretty reckless on one hand but always afraid of having their treasured car scratched on the other. So to keep them at a halfway safe distance, I attached one of those flexible kiddy flagpoles to the trailer... And also today after work I approached...

    Versatile cargo Trailer

    With the car in the workshop and using it a lot lately and also making it into an asset for my protest rides and therefor making more and more appearances here, I thought my little cargo trailer needed a thread of it's own. This trailer started the life in my hands as a beat up kiddies trailer...

    German/european (?) suspension fork

    I think it's a kind of "pendulum fork". Found a similar one in a GDR bike forum...
