^^ You mean you're going to install the bob in front of the trike and "push" it along?
Never seen that don, interesting.

I am slowly adding components to my Fargo.
Swapped out a stem to raise the bar above the seat.
Added fenders, bells, blinky light and a rear rack.
I added some foam in the Bike Box 2 to cushion my D700, 24-120/4.
Still waiting on my frame bag and front minimalist rack.

This is from my first real tour. Sort of wish I had put front panniers on, as it was a tad back heavy, especially on some of those big hills.

I am thinking about replacing my canti brakes with V brakes like I see on your bike. What levers did you use? Nice rig by the way. Don

WOW, is that fixed or freewheel? I just mapped Half Moon Bay to Big Sur and it says 12 hrs via bike. I can't imagine with just one gear....is it pretty flat? What is your gear ratio on the schwinn? (I ask b'c I just built a fixed 39T x 16T Fuji

Just picked up my XXL Fargo today from the LBS. Still missing the front and rear racks, frame bag and fenders, but it was nice to take it out for its first ride. The ride is awesome! Here are two photos. Can't wait to get it out on the Katy Trail.

Is that a WTB Woodchipper? How do you like the brakes so high on the drops? I have a set of mtn drops and they're usually much more comfortable in the extensions.

I rode Fixed all the way. and it was not flat only around Moss Landing in the Monterrey Bay, but the rest were hills
my ratio is 48-18
getting up the santa cruz hill all the way up to crown merrill college on the first day was was challenging but i did it. i mapped it out and found it its a c-3 hill???
either way it was a blast going down hill
Thats me in moss landing where it was flat
