It wouldn't be cheap, but you could have a metalworker make a triangular hoop for a U-Lock, so it has the same dimensions as the smaller triangle on the frame.

It's certainly a cool looking bike.

My new commuter/ fun bike "manbearpig". Serially, a specialized Diverge Expert x1 with force 1x11 drivetrain. Most of my commute (60-90% of my 30_ mi commute is on trails). Took it out for a 27 mi test spin today. Very nice. Got plug and play fenders for it I will eventually install.

Thank you. Like I said, I've been appreciating the different details as I understand the design better.

You mean the triangle up by the head tube? Thanks for that idea.
That's a great one that I probably would never have thought of.

I ordered a rear rack from the company.
They are taking their sweet time getting it to me but when it shows up I'll re-evaluate where I could put the U-lock.
If it fits under the rack for example, that might be a good place and not cluttering up the bike too much. We'll see when everything gets here and I get it all together. I have not bought either lock. The U-lock is about 3x more expensive than the frame lock.

Thanks again. :beer:

My 08 Aurora. Previous owner switched out several parts. Not even sure what's original and what's not. Very comfortable ride though. Gets around 20 miles a day.

That is a nice looking Jamis, and I like the setup.

thank you! It was a good Craigslist find I have to say.

An older Specialized Hardrock (2000) MTB changed to a "do-it-all" bike. Been a lot of fun/satisfaction building this up and takes me wherever i want to go :thumb:

My 3-speed Commuter

Long time follower of this thread but 1st time posting.

My State Bicycle fixie that I converted into a 3-speed. Shimano Nexus 3-speed hub and Wald 137 with clip-on lights. I ride 12 miles one way mostly flat.

Have a good weekend fellas!

Your U-lock mounting is identical to mine. I couldn't find a better location. Problem is, it interferes just a little with the water bottle. Also, my lock rattles while riding, even if I keep the rubber washers snug.

How's it for you?

Nice! Mine is about a 2000, and it does everything I need it too.

Great looking bike-but the rack tilting backwards is killing me.

Any pics? Would love to see it.

Here you go.

Univega Maxima Sport
 

Swap shop find. Rear wheel and derailer trashed, bits from several bikes. Only the fenders bought new.

It is only made worse by the saddle tilted nose down.

Maybe try securing it this way:

Nice looking bike that :thumb: Is that a replacement crankset?

Yes, it's crappy Sugino

lol yeah i replaced mine with a crap low-end Shimano but way better than the worn & abused Specialized Crank that was on it. I've spent too much on bike according to the missus lol

What size of chainrings do you use? I'm thinking about going up to 48/38/26 as the 44T just quite isn't enough now.

The chainrings are the same ratios that it had on it when I got it, I think they're 28, 38, 48. I want to increase the big ring if I ever do this again.

Here is a quick video of me riding my Haanjo.


Pics are on page 575.

I have since switched my seat to a Fabric Scoop Radius.

Cool bag. What is it? If you load it up too much, does it rub on your tire?
