I call this one red day. I drive my other truck a Nissan d21 in for a smog and rode my 54 corvette home.

What year is your HARDBODY? These Nissans are great trucks...

Cook three-bar cruiser and my '93 Toyota pickup, dents galore but very little rust for Iowa. The 22r-e and 5 speed make for a fun-to-drive lil truck.

You call that a truck? This is a truck.



170 ton. Retired in favor of bigger 240 ton trucks.

Here is my 'truck', with three bikes in the back. They are all Romet Jubilat 2 folders, which I had just bought from a guy who had collected them from local scrapyards. One has since been prepared to sell in the Spring, one is my farm bike, and the other my occasional hack bike - when I have not borrowed bits off of it to fit to my other bikes. The truck is a 1 litre Toyota Yaris, and gets to haul our stuff everywhere, including my original Jubilat off-road conversion and my 20" wheeled Romet Wigry folder.

You call that a TRUCK?? REALLY?? See post 104!!! Now that's a TRUUUUCK!!!!!

Well, in my defence, I could not stand back far enough to fit all of it in one picture

Where are you that you got Polish (?) made 24" folders? I can say I'd never seen them before.

Well it is quite easy, when you live in rural eastern Poland

I have 4 Romet Jubilat folders with 24" wheels, a classic Romet Wigry folder with 20" wheels, and a Romet Turing step-thru frame - finding them is like picking fruit off a tree as although out of production for about 20 years many are still in use - the Wigry I found by a dumpster, and Turing was decaying in one of my barns - and the three Jubilats in the car were a normal bulk buy.

Here is one of the three, a rare Zenit model with 3-speed derailleur instead of the standard coaster brake. It is now my farm bike, and you can tell because it is leaning against my cottage on my farm

It'd be cool to see the drive side, I'm curious about the 3 speed setup

It is not a big deal, a standard 5-gear freewheel derailleur set up with no gears on the smallest and largest positions - you can see the hub on my profile picture. I think I would have to replace the H and L screws to use a freewheel with more gears as the H seems wound out a long way already. The bike is in pieces at the moment for a total rebuild, and at some stage I will be trying another built wheel I have hanging around with an actual 5-speed or 6-speed freewheel, I cannot remember which.

Anyone familiar with Romets will recognise the 3-piece crank normally found on their mid-range machines rather than the normal 2-piece. The BB is toast, so it is going to get a square drive crank, either cartridge or caged bearing, not sure which yet.

This thing is not allowed near my bikes or anything else that I don’t want crushed. Every vehicle has a feel n this is a happy but bat blank crazy dirty blond that likes too run break things. She would run over all my bikes and ask me why I am scowling

Rad, Sue. Rad!

Brought home this small bike haul in 2015 in my Mazda B2300. Kinda snowballed from there.
