    Amsterdam City Tour

    Thanks dude, i kinda like it myself now.. My stretched bikes are intended for speed with a minimum of lightweight components. I like how the classic look of the fork flows with the lines of the frame. My favorite color is black and besides that, a fancy paintjob is a total waste if you use your...

    One of the cool things is that you can experiment with different forks and wheels without actually owning them. Another is that you can print it on scale..

    phillipine bicycleculture

    In search of bicyclesidecar data i stumbled upon these: ¨A Philippine pedicab is called a traysikad', trisikad--or simply sikad--or padyak (to tramp or stamp one's feet) and is made by mounting a sidecar to a regular bicycle. ¨ (wiki) Did some more googling and found out they make awesome...

    felt light sled

    Rides lovely, fast and comfortable.Tested over 45 kmph. Some of the lycra outfit helmet and earodynamic shades cyclists laugh in my face until i pass them. Its funny to watch their expressions change from ridiculing to confusion and disbelief. These type of bicycles are banned from the...

    felt light sled

    Bought myself a felt lead sled and stripped everything off to make it as light as possible. Aluminium crankset, seatpost, rack, headset, bottombracket converter and rims. 24X3.0 big apple tires nexus 3speed, giant 29 inch fork. As with many lead sleds, the kickstand had come loose, It is now...

    Eastern Star Supersport 30s Indian frame

    I could not resist buying this nos prewar Eastern Star Made in India frame plus fenders, so i turned it into this for my girl: Its a 28 inch frame, but the slightly larger kronan fork compensates for the slightly smaller 26 inch wheels, and ads a bit of rake

    black stretched streetracer

    A backrest would be nice, i saw one once that could be attached to the seatpost. As for the 52, i found it a bit too much in second and third, so i replaced it with a 44. could have put a 19 in the rear, but the 44 is a better size for a chainguard. Rides like a dream now.

    black stretched streetracer

    Thanks! Amsterdam is relatively flat as is the rest of Holland, we have bridges, and cyclepaths in the dunes though. Going uphill is not bad, you can put a lot of strength in the bike, pushing the pedals while firmly holding on to the apehangers. Contrary to appearances this geometry is very...

    black stretched streetracer

    Thanks, but i took the big /black/fat / Gel-Seat off to replace it with a lighter, more stylish and equally comfortable leather seat, made in holland. I know what chainguards are for, but do not have any that fits the 52 teeth front-sprocket :roll:
