I rode my townie 7d 16 miles today and boy, could I benefit from suspension.
the head tube is freaky long. I’d love a retro style springer but I have an ebike kit on it and I hear the quality is iffy.
a triple tree with suspension would look even cooler but I’m not sure if I can find one that would fit. Last resort would be a boring old mountain bike style fork.
As for the rear - that big fat saddle makes my tucchas ache. I’d like either a long moped style seat or a brooks. Anyone try to make a moped seat work?
not a banana seat, but a long semi rectangular seat.
