Drool. That is beyond beautiful.

I really want a Stinky such a classic freeride bike. Speaking of interesting names on mountain bikes, there was Cove with the ......., Stiffee, Hooker and STD.

I'll probably just keep my eye out for a pre-war Schwinn in 20in size since really that is what I think I want. I was thinking about the Worksman because of the raw ones that are for sale through the webstore.

According to Worksman the M2600 is bigger. They say it is a 20in frame size on their website. I thought all Heavy Dutis where the same size.

Cool I'll just keep an eye on ebay and locally until I find a frame. I want to build a klunker but at 6'2" I would have so much seat post on an 18in frame it would look silly and I am not a huge fan of layback seatpost.

Dang shorter then I was hoping. Are there any easy to find steel cruiser frames that have like a 20-21in seat tube? I guess there is the M2600 but I don't really love the straight top tubes. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk

Does anyone know what the seat tube length of a Worksman Newsboy is? Also about what is the fork length (A-C)?

Brompton was doing the same thing for nurses and doctors.

Will this coaster brake fit a cooler from Mone Bikes? Is it an 1.5in hubshell?

Ok so starting the transformation to town bike. Ordered a Sunrace 11-40 8 speed cassette, an old XT 8 speed derailleur, a cheap hanger extender and a Paul Component Thumbie. I have an Ultegra 8-speed bar end shifter I am going to use until I swap away from dropbars (after I get a gravel bike)...

Some more changes. Fitting a 34t chain ring to fix chain tension and make it a little faster. Made the cords neater on bags. Fitted an Soma extra long quill stem adapter to get bars up higher and a short 35mm stem. This has made the bike fit exactly where I want it. Super comfortable and easy to...

Very cool. Path Racers are super cool. I look forward to seeing where this goes.

You would need to change the pull of the brakes since mechanical disc use the same pull as V-brakes.

Not cheap but Paul Component has a brake lever designed to run two brakes off one handle for bike polo. https://www.paulcomp.com/shop/components/brake-levers/dual-pull/duplex-lever/

Most tires I have bought came folded... I thought that was just standard.

\ Changed out the bell (as the old one hit the handlebar bag and didn't really ring) to one that fit on the 31.8mm section of bar. Put a saddle bag on it to hold, tube, multi-tool, C02. Just got in cotton tape which it going to go on with light coat of shellac, bar ends made from champagne...

I get more mileage out of my 1x10 chains then my old 2x9. Fair enough on the low gearing. I use it on my mountain bike to climb stuff enough that I wouldn't want to be without it.

So what if it isn't perfectly inline? My 1x10 is by far the most reliable drivetrain I have ever had. I like wide range 1x9 or 1x10 as the chain is stronger then 1x11, 1x12 or 1x13. Ideally I want a 11-42 or 46 spread with an appropriately sized chain ring to make sense for where I am riding it...

That is kinda missing the point of the Orge/Troll/ECR etc. They aren't the Corvettes of the bike world they are the overlanders. They are supposed to allow you to cover a lot of distance and to do that you need lots of mounting points. You are going to have to add weight to the front at some...
