Road runner v. 2. Lugged frame

[boro]

I guess I can call it finished.
The main idea was to build better frame than my previous board tracker and use as many components from it as possible.

My two American style bicycles.

That's me.

Some specs:
Custom build lugged frame with stainless steel lugs and cromoli tubing.
Old space liner fork modified to fit wide rims and disk brake
Dynamo hub in the front, 8 speed Shimano Nexus Hub in the rear.
Shifter mounted under the saddle (the billiard ball)
Etc, etc...

Great work!
Congrats on finishing, I think this is the first scratch built lugged bike on RRB!

Thank you. I did not plan to be the first one with a lugged frame, maybe I could set a trend here [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2]

Love your work! This bike has a great balance of retro, vintage, cool, and ingenuity.

I like the 3rd pic from the top for your voting picture, just my opinion.

Which country are you in? I see European style buildings, ocean, and beautiful modern architecture too.

Again...well done

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!

That is an outstanding build; a great eclectic juxtaposition of modern and old components cleverly blended to create a harmonious kinetic construction - well done!

Incredible work and it even fits in with the modern fat bike craze!

Yeah. A lot of ppl ask me whether it is a fat bike. And every time I have to explain that it is not [emoji2] [emoji2] [emoji2]

It's somewhere near the Barceloneta Subway station. I don't recall the name.[emoji106] [emoji106]

Even after finishing the build there's something to improve. Changed headlight position and the shifter cable allocation.
