Long frame pump that wont Pop off when I lift the Bike to Move it sideways.
[nestling between 2 top tubes was Perfect]

My pannier set bought in 85 was Beckman for Bruce Gordon's racks,
but I added rain covers ..

Now My off the shelf purchase was with a Rohloff Hub. snared a good used deal
actually 2 , 1 the Koga WTR, 26" wheels, 2nd one the Bike Friday P Llama, 20" wheels.

the PL is now the bike I use the most, step thru frame, functionally.. discs and dyno hub & lights

Do miss it not having a Kickstand, But I'm coping , locking it to something every time is certainly
taking care of that..

Frame Mounted Ring Locks ..are always there Handy [Koga included one]

beginning a communication to get a non standard steering mast built, for the BF
and have fittings to add a porteur rack on it, shelf, probably on a hinge,
so I can fold it up and remove the Panniers from the rack under it.



like I say have any features you want to personalize the Custom Build?
