Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

I've only ridden about on the disc-coaster version and it seemed fine but definitely disc-disc + derailler would be nicer. But I guess it's a different target market, I think the V1 is more short commutes/runs to the shops/school-run. This V2 looks more versatile.

You know this is place has the attention span of a four year old on Red Bull.

BMX geometry made mine twitchy bordering on unstable with any significant weight on the front. Also scary at speeds much above 25mph - possibly it's just that I scare easily.

Good effort though

Only if he does some crazy barspin 180 turn or whatever.

Do you even bike?

is this the one for sale on ebay?

cheers!

Personally I wouldn't bring a kid that close to the bars but whatever pleases you..

Those Petit Porteurs remind me of the Donky (http://donkybike.com), albeit better looking and with a more sensible frame design. Wonder how they ride fully loaded.

Good spot! (= I hadn't seen it)
I sold it to a chap in Telford about 3 years ago - not really a cyclist but he was fed up with the traffic and parking problems, and thought the cycle paths looked usable.

That was me 8 years ago with fenders and upright handlebars.

it's been on ebay for ages without selling despite low price...i think it's just hard to know how it will ride without having a go?!

It looks like he's wanting around the price he paid for it. My guess is the 'home made' element is putting people off, though you're quite right about the ride. I did make him ride up and down the road when he collected it, mainly to confirm the unconventional / hand crafted bits all worked at the time of sale.

We need a weekly trend report so we can keep track.

Such functionality.

Lovely stuff

So good. Wheels/tyres and mudguards are a massive win.

Yeah they are so much fun. Going to set them up tubeless soon.

Are you using a bikepacking handlebar bag in order not to ruin the empty front rack aesthetics?

Haha, no I had it fully loaded up for a trip recently and had the dry bag inside..... the paniers were in the garage. It was more convenient.

That's me reassured then ;-)

Yeah you might be right. I’ve had the frontvwheel tucknubdercwhen riding bmx a few times, guessvthat pints to geonetrybthatvisnt gonna be relaxing to ride to say the least!

Saw an old guy arrive at Sainsbury’s on this, had rear rack double stacked with boxes. #beforeitwascool

nice forks too - but that lock looks like it might come off in the wind
