accent colour

I think cream, black or pale blue might look good.

The bike looks awesome, head tube mod and handle bars are perfect!

Those dimensions look really good. What is the wheelbase with the modified head tube angle?

Thanks dude, She's loooong. 1240mm wheelbase now. For reference, Started at 1206mm.

Thanks dude. So glad I didn't wimp out of the chop. I'm so much happier with it now

I like the bike and the Baskerville sticker. Those were the days. Lived in Kingston for 5 years in a previous life.

Awesome little part of the world. And a great racing circuit to boot

Great work as usual on the mods! Love the new HT angle and the mullet style with the 27.5 in the front. Gnarly!

This will be a great bike for the rough stuff. I like the creamsicle look with the orange and cream colors.

OR-aT oN~!

Refitted the head tube badge, and took it out for a test ride.

Looks really cool, purposeful. I don't know how it would climb but it should descend really nicely!

We have a newly opened trail network, not to far of a drive away, with a shuttle service. Should be perfect for it. Shuttle up, bomb down

 

[GTHOtrod]

Polished up a seat post to replace the black one.

Made a start on a beefed up coaster hub

Didn't have the MoNey for MoNe, so I diy'd it

 

[GTHOtrod]

Roughed out a square billet ready to knock up a coaster cooler

 

[jimmythefly]

Yeah, the slacked out head tube looks really good, especially with the 650b front wheel.

I'm not sold on the frame bag, that bike has so many cool tubes and junctions and negative space between the frame tubes that it's a shame to obscure them.

Getting some machining done on the coaster cooler

 

[BartRidesEternal]

Nice! Love the machining work and the coasterbrake arm.

Looking forward on how you are going to assemble that heat sink and lace up the rear wheel

 

[GTHOtrod]

Finished machining the heat sink. I think the pics speak for themselves to answer that question from @BartRidesEternal

Two pieces! Like an 'aircooled' boxer engine

Sorry to ask this question, no intention to make you sweat: Do the two heat sink pieces fit through the spokes? (I could forget that detail you know)

Very nicely done!

Very nicely done!

I do hope they fit once it's laced.
Have I checked? Definitely not

aw man, I have been wanting to have a coaster brake cooler like that made for years. Nice. That's a marketable item, unless they already exist.

They do exist, but cost a bunch of Moné
