Built a SUB (stand up bike)
I was given a 24" wheel MTB in decent condition and wanted to try and make a SUB (stand up bike) Removed the top tube and most of the seat tube. Dropped the top of the rear triangle and braced to the main tube. Made a stem from 30mm stainless tubing and a hinge to fold the bars, fits easily in the back of my car. All gear mech removed and chain tensioner made. Cranks cut down to 90mm, gives a much better pedalling action. Technique is a bit different than riding a normal bike, like climbing stairs but you're getting somewhere, I tend to pedal and coast, head wind is a killer. I use it on the local bike trails which are quite flat (old train tracks) so single speed works. Turned out better than I thought it would.
