Looking forward to it.

Thanks for bringing us along for the rides. They've been very enjoyable. Continue to enjoy your time with FIL.

New meaning to "parting out". I wonder what part of the frame will be up for sale next :21:

Thanks @franconuevo Yes a Murray. I cut out the top tube and the seat tube. Then used the top tube as the seat tube. Used conduit for the top tube. You can see the different incartnations of it here... http://locojoe.com/bike/304

Riding my build off bike a couple days ago. And some earlier rides... Riding trails. Running errands.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Thanks horsefarmer! After seeing yours I was tempted to strip my MTB for parts lol

This was just a simple transformation of my Heavy Duti from grocery getter to klunker. Build thread here. Ride video...

The stem and the 2 shims I had fit perfect. Yesterday I finished assembly, putting on a Brooks B72 and am calling it done. A simple, quick, uneventful build. Rode it to the river which is about 5 miles away for a Celebratory picnic and then road the trails there. The gearing (46x22) seemed to...

Very cool. love the fat tires and the finish.

Very nice. Wish my paint was still that good.

I don't have a stem that fits the fork that will work with the bars I posted above. Hoping to use this one. With some shims to make it work. Probably not the safest thing idk.

My front wheel issue... Before putting the front wheel on the bike last week I checked the bearings and the cage was mangled and some bearings loose. Dejavu. I remembered replacing them last time I used this wheel set. Anyway I replaced them again and was still hearing a noise coming from the...

Hope I don't regret this. Removed the center and rear chain guard tabs. Left the front one just in case. I'm also leaving the kickstand for now. I just use it too much. I doubt I'll be doing any serious klunking that it'll be a problem. If it is ever a problem I'll just pull it from it's...

I've had them for quite a while. I found what looks to be the same tire http://www.vittoria.com/tire/booze-light/

I'll probably just make do with these tires I have. I think I have tires with a bit more off-roadish knobby tread but I like the fatness of these.

Forgot to include "I plan on doing this on the cheap" :21:

I recently decided to transform my Heavy Duti grocery getter to something more klunkerish. It'll be a pretty simple build but I figured I might as well document it here. Here's how I've pretty much had the bike set up since I bought the frame. Late last year bored with it I disassembled and...

Thanks.

Yeah ice is no good. Fell the one day I rode on ice here this winter. My dog chant you never know. Caught movement out of the corner of my eye the other day, I hit the pedals hard before realizing it was just a horse in the pasture alongside the road lol No gopro. I just handhold my little...
