If you don't mind, maybe when it arrives you could measure seat stay/chainstay/fork clearance for 650b/700c? If it's decent I predict many of them appearing on the forum soon.

Can do

Ah is this the 35mm one you saw?

If it can take a 35mm that's perfect for town bike/budget tourer. Gonna get one.

Edit: link is half-dead but text says 35mm Conti CX speed and looks like there's clearance in the pics

Gonna get one.

You're going to buy something new?!

I'm not a #cheapskate if I'm buying things for someone else :) Happy to risk my own teeth, not so much my girlfriend's...

Smart!

Wouldn't want to go out with someone with no front teeth would I?

dent-ist.

I can't be a dent-ist, some of my best friends have no teeth.

yup that's the boy

Jeez!

Can’t see you getting guards in as well.

Ready to be proved wrong.... but would be surprised. I mean look at the ST clearance. And the fork crown.

Made a Wahoo + front light mount today. Not sure about the light mount yet, I'll try it out and make adjustments later.

nice hack ! Bars ID ?

New budget cockpit for the rickshaw. Didn’t enjoy what was on there so hoping this will be an improvement.

Longer seatpost on the way, and swapping the cranks and bb to something that’s a little better quality.

Want to get rid of the electric motored front wheel, It needs a battery and a key for the ignition and I cba to sort that out at the moment. anyone have a budget 24inch front wheel for sellz?

Got some basic maintenance to do as well then it should be ready to go.

Never mind the bike tings. Can we have photos of the van/truck in the background?

@gaston thanks! Specialized hover flare.
@Hulsroy, I'll look into getting some pictures. It's a 1954 Land Rover.

Very Austin Augie, he's a bmxer in Brooklyn, his you tube channels well worth a follow, as its not just bmx, all sorts.

@gaston is it VMB ?

It's nice BTW,,,,,, 26mm Soma HWY One is VMB yes and Genius is a nice base.
Ti Grammo is light ! Blue Open Pro is Ok but there are many spokes and the Seat post is nice, aero but short and not very light.
nice Daily tires it looks a bit retro is it the 25C version ?

Austin Augie

groovy ! : ) handsome kid ; )

Been following this lad for a year or so. Though I don’t watch as much any more now that it’s not all dicey bmx go pro adventures. Deliveries!

The food gets me, the sheer variety I'd love to see NY, his channels a bit like a holiday for me. Like escapism with a tour guide. The one where he nearly got his bike mugged was pretty sketchy.

Dollar slices tho

Just bought one of these to replace my Equilibrium, which has always been a bit big for me.

Well I'll be using SKS guards which are easily trimmed but I can always go down a tyre size if needed. Made good use of the 15% off on eBay today and got him an 11-36 SLX cassette, a pair of X5 shifters and a some alfine cranks & hollowtech BB.
