Definitely getting the two speed automatic shifting from Respect Cycles as soon as they release it! I'm thinking this is the go to company, they seem to have found a good frame size and now doing different builds off of it. I'll never have to take a 2-speed hub apart n tinker with it, instead I can just watch this video haha https://respectcycles.com/automatix-build/ |

What are those white-walled tires? ^^^

bobbiker has an incredible collection of expertly restored bikes and Elliott Bay Bicycles / Davidson Bicycles produce excellent custom bicycles for many purposes.

They've done special colored tires before(celest green ones for limited Bianchi Milano),but I've never seen them for sale,so you'd prolly have to contact Kenda to find some. |

Well -- Ok, perhaps a "Diamond in the Rough". A little TLC and a nice paint job would make it a stand out for sure. An interesting placement of the chain tensioner. I think for me, I would keep it assembled. Not exactly the best bike for travelling with. One could miss his/her flight trying to take that apart. Perhaps arrive at the airport/bus depot/train station earlier than normal.
The gearing choice is interesting (two very different speeds - has to use hand as there is no front derailleur), but the builder built it for himself and it works well for him. |
