Ok let's try this. I downloaded two free apps on bike gears one was Bike Gears Lite and BikeGearsCal Lite, the second one I'm using. I tried it with 48 and 18 and with my 27 by 1 1/4 with a cadence of 60 and a 165 (6 1/2") crank length I got 12.4 mph A 48 and 18 with the rest the same I got...

Nice Puch Kota. I don't think it has that Kota genetics......... you sure it's yours? :| Gearing is a good question I'm toying with it here also. You go through the numbers and get an answer that doesn't mean a thing to me. Right now I have a 46 tooth chain ring and an 18 tooth on the coaster...

Re: "The Money Shot" *Done for now* I have neglected to keep up with this web site and have been on a RRB hiatius for a year or so. You posted a remark on my newest build and when I check out your builds I find this. Well done 8) I'm glad I don't live next to you because we would be scrambling...

I just scavenged my Breeze because I didn't want to spend the time to find the correct missing parts. Yours came out nice. Graylock

I'm not done adding tubes to this, the top looks too bare so I'll add another below the top tube to fill it in. Scavenged a Schwinn Breeze for the bottom bracket and chain guard along with the coaster brake that I'll relace to this bikes rear rim. I did some fancy birds mouth work and was a...

Don't worry Kota, he's got to carry 50 lbs of lock up chain.

That is a great frame to work with on this Flat Lander idea. For now I have to be happy with what I have. GL

This is the plan...... ......from this GL

Rules? We don't need no stinking rules! ....... :roll: just the list at the top of this build thread, and that's not too much to ask for. Remember we're Rats and if we don't have a little structure and be careful we could tear a hole in universe and all get sucked through a vortex the size of...

Now thats what I'm talking about.... oh yeah! 8) Real nice KZ. I'm looking forward to seeing this in the flesh. GL

In? You were never out. This bike you speak of will have your best Kota skills rolled into one wicked cool Flat Lander 'cause you got that well seasoned knowledge you aquired with.... you know.... age. Well you got a whole year to build :D . I've been bugged by this tall Schwinn I have and...

I got my bike from my dad but was shocked at the size of the thing. I never cared much for how bike frames were measured, I always went by how far off the floor the top tube was. This one is nearly 35" off the street :shock: I think I have one of Danimal's bikes! This would have been a good...

When your ready to set up the 4th event we will be bumping like crazy. You need to post the event in the Sunday papers in the what to do section when the time draws near. GL

I may have one all laced up maybe, I'll look but gee wizz I might need one for myself. I was hoping to lace up a coaster brake on that Shwinn when I get from my Dad. GL

(The other bike is cool) Thats what gave me this idea for the build. Your work is done. Is that a bouy bell your going to use?

Jackdaw has the drop on us :shock: .... 8) This frame will live in history or at least stay out of the slaughter house. Your bike seems to have control of it's destiny. Your nice start has kicked me into gear :wink: . My 89 year old Dad has informed me that he has scored some road bikes from...

Let's take this discussion to The Flat Landers of Ayer in the build section. GL

This thread is intended for the few who will be going to the "4th Human Powered Vehicle Festival" in Ayer MA in 2013. Even if you don't ..... no worries.... this thread is for everyone. I moved it here from 3rd Human Powered Vehicle Festival I have been to the other three events and brought a...

Getting ready to go to work..... major bummer :| I'll start a new topic tonight when I get time and we can discuss this there and not take up time and space here. ....... getting back at you later. GL

Some info to work with, thanks Tim. I already have my Dad's 5X8 trailer to carry all sorts of bikes including the infamous Shadow if need be. I'd be willing to leave other bikes for use at the event while I'm on the trail if someone were to watch them while I'm gone. This splinter group should...
