  • fuck a duck! That's lovely! Cheers Ed.

    In the process of trying to build my girlfriend a bike and that's almost exactly what I had in my mind but hadn't realised it until I saw it all put together. I was considering one of those stermey kick back 2 spd hubs though. What frame is that with the integrated rack?

    This has got my creative mind working overtime now!

    That frame is made by Fast Boy Cycle, of whom build it for his girlfriend (now wife).

    it was made specifically for everyday riding in New York, light, 1x8 (I think) gearing, comfortable laid back handlebar and integrated rack to carry stuff (lighter and possibly stronger depending on how it's build).

    The 'stermey archies kick back 2 spd hubs' is a great little hubs, if it for your missus, I'd go for a kickback only hubs rather than the coaster and have two brake fitted.

    it's not hard to put together a bike like that, any old frame with mudguard/rack mount, paint it, add wheel and big tyres, moustache bar and brooks saddle and you'll be fine.
