Back to Bikes

These are the two main bikes in our fleet. They've been road-worthy for a while now.

Modifications have proceeded slowly, piece by piece, with the goal being having the thing ridable every day. It's a whole 'nother world when your bicycle is your PRIMARY means of transit.


My utility bike is a 70's something low-end step-through with 27" wheels... Crappy pedals, threaded fork, yada yada...



My additions of course have been the 26" wheel, rear-axle mount kickstand (which desperately needs some modifications to make it more *reliable*:



The new "man-friendly" seat I added (Says: "$5, yay" on the bottom):



The rack, on which I am thinking about (re-)building a (reclaimed ancient) wooden crate:



The bracket for the bobike mini:



My new, crappy-ass shifters:





Today I finally got around to repacking the bearings in the front wheel -- though it still needs a proper truing. I'm going to try to find a used tru-stand somewheres, and get cracking.

I also switched the brake levers around to Right Hand Rear Brake / Left Hand Front Brake.
