Electra Moto 8 project
Aloha all,
Latest project was a used Electra Moto 1 found on Craigslist for $280 negotiated. Used parts from my Swobo Baxter with Moto parts to make a final product and a selloff of the Baxter on CL for $270.
Start with this;

Turns into this (tandem for my son);

Add this;

Subtract this;

Equals:





I never did quite like the Baxter fit for me and was always swapping stems, risers, etc. Love the fit of the Moto 8, like a relaxed mountain bike, cruiser. Most of the bling credit goes to Brooks, PDW and Woody's fenders.

Classic parts make a pleasing mix. Some 40mm tires are on the way to replace the 32s.
