New spring, new Dogbike. Dogbike20"
Ok. I started it last autumn, but becouse I mowed, it had to wait. Now I managed to find most of the parts, and have started putting it together.
Started as a 70`s detatchable DBS w hub brakes and a 2sp kickback hub w coaster.
New fork, new brakes, built a "new" Shimano Nexus 7 speed wcoaster rear wheel. Invented a new quick release stem for it and had somebody weld it up last autumn but no time to present it. Got one for the short black detatchable 20" also.
This is still a job in progres.
I am planning to have all the x-tra stuff attached only to the black rear triangel, so that I quick and easy can remowe the whole longtail kit w racks and wideloaders all in one. Then put the rear wheel on the front frame, shifter on the stbars again (when used as a longtail shifter is attached to the stud on the seat post).
Ladies, gentlemen and the rest of you, Dogbike20":
And the new stem:
Two different solutions for tightening the stem down:

Sweet backyard engineering going on there!
I have been thinking about doing my Raleigh Twenty or one of my Dahon's into a longtail. Just need a round tuit.

There has been some questions asked and answered about the bike here https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...1#post10492421 in the folder forum. Best is if it could be kept in one thread (this one) so it is easyer for those who want to copy the bike to find the info about it. Had tp post a hint about it in the folder forum becouse it is a 20" bike and the DIY stem could be of interest there.
