Becoming a favorite
This BF Pocket Llama was made for my neighbor, who seldom rode it. He passed recently and his wife gifted(!) their two matching custom Pocket Llamas to me and my wife. Riding this bike reminds me of Bill and I’d like to think that he’d prefer these bikes get used. I’m leaving the badge on the bike with his name and the bike’s serial number.
Bill was quite a bit shorter than I, and I commissioned a longer seatmast from BF. It now fits quite nicely. Looking forward to some bike travel with these.

The 2.125 tires make a pretty big difference.

I recently changed the tires on my 406er after a bit of research. There are quite a few wide, plump tires for 406 but most all are real porkers in weight. And I'm no weight weenie.

How much do you weigh? Tire pressure, as you know, is load dependent.
