Very comfortable ride, but don't know which kickstand that able to use with her.Maybe i gotta looking for click-stand.

No problem. I should have been more clear with my statements. No harm done and no hard feelings.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion.




I am an easy going guy for the most part. I did not take what you said personal and there are no hard feelings for our differences. Once again, I should have worded myself better as to avoid confusion. Oh, your bike looks nice and I am sure you enjoy riding it. Have a nice day.

That thing is awsome:)

Very nice Kona Mardmakarm, it looks like new!

Nice!
Where did you get the mid fork adapters for the light?

My commuter bike for today: Dynamic Crossroad 8
Not the fastest bike but low maintenance and fairly weather resistant. ;)

subzeroLV,

Nice bike! Can you tell me what panniers you have installed?

Thanks!

Here is a little update on the little Peugeot. It rides pretty nice and I enjoyed riding it. It feels plush with the 1.75 lower psi tires compared to the 28mm on the Windor. Its heavy at around 30 pounds and its of course doesn't seem that zippy, but the tires has alot to do with that I bet. I think the rear derailer is gunky becasue it wouldn't always shift down to the smaller cogs for some reason. I figured it would eventually loosen up but it didn't really. I'll probably not mess with it too much just upgrade it instead. Overall Its a fun bike that will get better as I add some better stuff to it. I thought I would feel more wonky with the stem riser and everything, but it feels pretty normal and I didn't notice any flex. This thing tracks right down the road. I think I thought I would find it more appealing to look at than it is, but it not looking super-awesome (I like how it loks just not love it) just means I won't mind using it as a commuter. =)

Some things I'll look at changing most of which I probably have one way or another. I want some brake levers with hoods, a wider drop bar and possibly one with less reach , but I want to ride this a bit to get it all figured out. I need a different seat. I remember when my favorite seat was the WTB speed V thts on there now, but now I would rate it as just ok for me. I'll probably upgrade the entire drivetrain with parts I have lying around. I need to decide if I want to go with a triple or double crank and what type of shifters to use. I need to find some correct screws to attach a rack to the back, but thats no big deal at the worst a trip to the local hardware store. Overall its been a fun project and gone together quite well once I got the stem adapter.

omg my new Salsa Casseroll *drool*

Now I just need a rear rack...

A Kona Sutra without disc brakes. This is awesome.

Here it is after I put the new fenders on.

Taken a while back... we both look the same and the weather still sucks.

You Canadians and your snow:)

Très cool. How do you like the shaft drive, and what's it mated to (I'm assuming IGH)?

That was December... this was today and can you tell I am less amused that we are still getting snow at the end of March ?

Consoled myself by building up a new rim around my IGH only because the original build was a salvaged rim that was less than perfect and the new Sun Rhyno rim I used is U.A.V. worthy and is pretty much perfect.

I prefer the slippery brown stuff over the slippery white stuff:) did some riding afterwork yesterday, then on the ride home got a mouth and face full of drying mud:)

I might get to commute on my hardtail when the snow melts... could be June at this rate.

Nice Salsa Ember. Sorry about the perpetual winter 65'r.

It is karma... I spent 6 relatively snow free, albeit rainy weeks in Portland this winter and this must be winter getting some payback.

It has warmed up to freezing which won't make for a bad day of riding and the forecast next week is for some double digit weather... we can hope that winter finally relents.

Thanks!
The shaft is mated to a Shimano Nexus SG-8R31 8spd IGH with a modified cesure.de hub brake rotor adapter, 140mm rotor and a modified a caliper mount (Avid BB7s for binders).
I like the shaft for its easy maintenance and near silent operation not to mention it's a great conversation starter. I dislike the shaft for its extremely limited gearwheel ratio. There's no swapping out gear cogs like one can with chain rings thus the final gear ratios feel a bit off compared to my Alfine equipped Dahon. Add in the Michelin Trackers and any riding with less than 80 psi in the tires is like slogging through mud.

All in all it's more than fine for my commute, about 5kms each way, especially with the constant rain here in our special part of the Wet Coast.

The giant has taken over as primary commuter while the kuwie gets a face lift. I put the "new" saddle on it and an running some slicks now.

I'd also like to know about those fork adapters.

My, its above freezing, but its not 80 yet.

Ta-da :

GETTIN' READY FOR SPRING !
