I was waiting till I had time to build another front rack for this, before I posted it but Ill probably get a velo orange one when we get them in at work.

Ive been riding this a lot lately especially now its snowing. Its a perfect wetweather/hangover bike. Its a real mutant with most of it coming cheap off ebay or freebees or leftovers.

Heres the run down
alloy trek frame off ebay, horizontal dropout, internal cable routing, fender and rack mounts. I forget what model it is but its really light.
Cheap Alloy fork.
Front wheel is a free damaged Dodoci rim radially laced to sram drum brake hub.
Rear wheel is a H+Son 36H laced to Sram 3 speed drum brake hub.
Sram rival road cranks with a old school anodised gold painted black sugino bmx chainring.
Kool Chain

Some old favourites like Race face Prodigy stem, concor saddle and Shimano DX pedals with Power Grips for "easy out" when you hit those slippery manhole covers.
New favourites like Diacompe SS-5 Levers, porteur style bars and misnomer bike stickers.
Some Bad ideas like radial laced drum brakes (had some spokes already) and heavy "aero" (wind catching) rims.
And some good ideas like fully taped porteur bars with dual hand positions for hunkering down and cruising.

Front tyre is a Fixation 28c rear is a slick Scwalbe 28c.
Old 3 speed stermy archer shifter, I actually only use 2 of the gears anyway.
Home made Rack, the alloy stays I made broke so I replaced them with bought steel ones.


This is my back deck at the moment. Poor babies left out in the cold.
