Readers wives alert... and wanting some opinion and advice, as I've never built a bike younger than 1985 vintage!
So my first attempt at the basis for an adventure bike / weekend child carrier. It was cobbled together as a single speed in the garage tonight + in the middle of wrapping bars as I type. Not thought about gearing options yet. 1x9 or 1x10 or could put in fd also? Not likely to ride anywhere too knarly though so 1x is likely.
I'm guessing a front rack is (almost?) certainly not an option with the RC31 forks. So rear maybe + child seat + frame bag will do.
Probably loads of stuff to swap out immediately and eventually. Definitely mudguards to come soon too. But it's a start.
