    Mini gentleman’s racer

    It rides a lot more like a boat than a kayak. I’m going to have to keep the cart at the stern because it was a little front heavy and slow. With my heavier chopper bicycle in the back it handled a bit better. The new bike is so light it doesn’t balance the weight well unless I can get more...

    Bicycle trailer help?

    Basically all done! Gonna get some paint and some padding. Rolls fast, rock solid, and I feel really cool hauling it around. I managed an average speed of 7 mph against 25 mph wind for 2 miles. I accidentally ran it off the road a couple times too, it took it great! (I have to take my turns...

    Tested out the kayak cart today! Rolls fast down the road (unlike my last one) and the bike fits well in the back of the yak. It’s much less top heavy than my chopper bike, so the yak rides really nice. It’s going to be an excellent summer! :)

    Mini gentleman’s racer

    I think it’s basically finished. It’s all dialed in, and it rides like I want it to. I’m starting to get compliments on it too. The only things I want to do are get longer bolts to run the bottle cage and the frame pump at the same time. I also have to finish my kayak cart/trailer/bike mount on...

    Mini gentleman’s racer

    It’s a harsh ride for sure, I’m starting to get used to it, but the first day made me so sore. I’m used to riding my large steel chopper. This bike is basically the opposite lol. It’s really easy to get in and out of the house with it. I have a bad back, but I’ve climbed stairs with it no...

    And today my new tires showed up! I think the tan looks great with the style I’m going for. They also pump up to 110 psi!

    New pedals had to happen, the bike is mostly amazing, but the pedals were horrible. New ones are great!

    I needed a headlight for riding at night, so I got a cheap one. It matches the bike really good IMO.

    Mini gentleman’s racer

    The seat that came with it was of pretty good quality, but it was skinny and lacked padding, so to me it was horrible. The replacement is much more comfortable.

    Out of the box I flipped the handlebars, later I flipped the stem, and it’s a little bit better. I ordered a new stem, it should be here any day now.

    Mini gentleman’s racer

    Well I was planning on leaving this bike mostly stock so I created the “I ordered a new bike” thread. Since then I’ve ordered a ton of parts, so I should put it under “builds”. This is my biria mini 20. It’s a pretty awesome bike. I’m inspired by roadster and path racer bikes, so that’s the...

    What is the worst bike that you own?

    I hate to say it because I LOVE my chopper, but TECHNICALLY it isn’t not my worst bike...

    Anyone tried these "Thousand Heritage" helmets?

    I prefer to eat bicycle helmets made of meat-leather, I got this one just to wear

    What have you been riding lately?
