OUT WITH THE OLD...

[s.e.charles]

if you guys are all hopped up on old bikes, maybe check out this forum: https://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php

not sure how comfortable some of these bikes would be for an extended ride, but the imagination displayed is pure genus (sic).

Some great stuff there. I'm just shocked how little I paid for it. Once upon a time it would be 700$ , now its 20. other than chain lube and tire pressures it's good to go.

Almost done, running into a few fitment issues. Other than that I hope to get it all done tomorrow evening , as it's the first day for fishing for a friend and I.

Toolkit for the trail

 

[s.e.charles]

does this kit go on the bike or in the sag-wagon?

or is it one of those ichiban moto kinda flicks?

 

[PPCLI_Jim]

It's for in the saddle bags. I need to wait for the rack to arrive via amazon.

 

[s.e.charles]

wow; that's some serious tonnage you be rockin'

I did this build so I can ride the KETTLE VALLEY RAILWAY,it has a max 3% grade so it's not much of an issue. I swapped to a lighter bike so I'm gaining advantage there.
Weight isnt a concern, it pushes it and me 30 kmh. Without suspension its plenty fast

Lol I'd love one of those. I have had a similar one years ago!

Good for you man , I rode the KVR a bunch of years ago and what a blast that was, we rode it on big ADV moto's and yes everyone including hikers, horse folks, bicycles all sharing the trail had no problem with us being there. Don't mind the troll boy he obviously has nothing better to do than get bent out of shape about his definition of a proper bicycle.

I also picked up this a honda ruckus to tool along the tracks and trails. Having a great day here!
