Not totally sure I need this bike, but got some 650B wheels last year and ran them on a Long Haul Trucker, found the grand bois hetre ride amazing but the braking was terrible as the pads only just reached the rims… so thought I'd use up a box of spare parts on this:
but it looked ugly with xt mtb gears and cranks, so I got some new cranks, gears and stem and got this:
and today was first proper test ride!
Velo orange parts: frame and forks, headset, rims, seatpost, cages, cables, front rack (and rear if can fit it), nitto noodle bars and stem, and the rest is shimano and stronglight.
Lumitec retro front dynamo light and bar tape to fit next.
