My number one workhorse. It takes care of my hilly 30m rt commute, loaded pannier trips, and towing the utility trailer (170lb record, 5miles, ~1000ft total elevation gain) I've probably put close to 2k mile on her so far this year.

An early build.



And it's finished evolution.




The Basil rack up front fits a 12pack perfectly, although it's also been used to carry 40lbs of cat litter. Cheap Sanyo dynamo hub powers the front light and a ReeLight blinks in back. Drivetrain is friction mode barcons pushing a rapidrise RD. Favorite build ever.
