I wanted to Frankenstein Lab such a thing when I had that free Schwinn, but here Riv has gone and done it as a feature and not a flaw
Absolutely incredible and quite the feat, imo!
Youse-a gonna LOVE this bike
(I'm
almost jealous).
Typically I'm a vintage bottom feeder / basement dweller / CraigsList Coni-sewer - so this RoadUno bike, and my GUNNAR 2019 CrossHairs are a nice departure from my natural environment.
I'll post a separate thread after I get a decent maiden voyage in this week. Probably I'll put it here in the SS subforum, but once I go 3x1, I can see how I might get evicted.
I've already got a 44t ring to replace the chain guard in the pic. A Paul Component Melvinator. A Silver DT shifter. An old Shimano 600 FD.
There will be an iteration with a 2spd KickBack wheel I had on my Miyata OneThousand.
And maybe next year there'll be pics of a drop bar iteration.
more later, gators! (i'm geeked. can't wait to go get the bike dirty)
