Bikes: See my sig...

I can finally call her a commuter as now she can carry my paniers...

Nekkid...



Dressed up for the commute...



The only original parts on this Phillip's Twenty folder are the frame and the 3 speed hub... I installed a suspension fork which required a little frame modification for the new headset, fabbed a drop bolt for the rear so I could run a medium reach (and far better brake), re-tapped the bb so I could use a Shimano 600 crank and 52 tooth chain ring, built up new wheels, and am running Schwalbe Marathons at 100 psi.

The bike is fast and comfortable and blows through potholes and ruts that would kill other bikes and like every Twenty, the handling is absolutely remarkable.

I need to swap the seat post for a silver one for purely aesthetic reasons.
