I wasn’t really satisfied with how the bike came out last year, so I’ll build it differently this mbbo!

What's your plan for overhauling Convoy, Bear Bear?

What's your plan for overhauling Convoy, Bear Bear?

I might sand down all the black paint so most of it is blue, it needs some new spokes and hub rebuilding on both wheels, maybe clear coat the frame+forks, new pedals etc…

 

[bear bear]

I might even do a completely different bike but with extended forks

 

[bear bear]

Yes or no to the front fender?

 

[bear bear]

Adding a chain guard

 

[bear bear]

Liking how it looks!

I have rebuilt the front hub also.

So far so good! Just a thought: what if you flipped the front fender so the longer end is ahead of the forks?

I also just learned that the rear tire to this bike is from a 70s wheelchair!

I think fenderless may be best.

Haha the wheel is so far away from rider that the fender is unnecessary

 

[bear bear]

Most of these bikes never had fenders anyways

The fender gives reason for the crossmember.
