Monster, Monsteur, Monstour , 26/29+ and Expedition and Adventure bikes

Alot of cool stuff here!

this what i work with atm, from this 90's citybike mtb.

to this..

Is that the original fork with a disk tab welded on? Is that safe?

Probably old news, but I happened across these today. Could be useful for anyone doing an 11sp. monster-X build, seems a cleaner solution than the shiftmate thing.

I thought I might post it here as well as the functional bikes thread, seeing as there is some overlap.

Stumbled across this on pedalroom. Looks like the work of a mad man. A brilliant mad man.

I love that sooooo much. Nothing wrong with mad...for crazies.

Love it.

Put together some 650b wheels for the Vassago. Soon to come: better rack/basket, and some larger tyres.

Good entry into the #rackandbasketlife

antoher fork with og disc tab, this is a 100£ project so i dont buy stuff if not needed :)

looks like this after some montana rattlecan action!

Nice! Almost the same as mine.

Reminds of the "Gravel Mutt" article on Guitar Ted's blog way back when.

So I just mounted a massive set of moto-x handlebars.

Looks too rad

Right on man. Wider bars and shorter stem is always the answer for these builds.

Bars are very similar to my Marin 700c

Your builds have been my inspiration.
Now I'll just have to wait and see how they fare on a congested cycling path on the way to UNI on a monday morning.

Wide bars in the city makes you a better rider ;)

fun fact: bike handlebars wider than 700mm are illegal in denmark. So you can just say theyr moto x bars

Are you sure mine wasn't your inspiration? 😉

Sorry, yours are reasonable compared to the previous 2 bikes.

haha wtf, what happen if you got wider?

one step closer, looking forward to build racks for this project.

i think its a 1000kr fine! but @JesperXT knows more about it..

But i mean, none of my bikes have bars narrower than 700mm right now, and i commute in the city every day and never been fined. I think the cop needs to be a major dick to stop you for it

ps, im looking forward to when you build racks for that project..

well, certainly everyone else's are prettier than mine. I just mean that my Kona has been like that for 5 years now.

I am about to strip it and repaint and change the tyres for something a little faster rolling, so when it's all done I'll post another photo.

what marin is that? it is noice.

That's lovely.

I've got a bike kind of like this too. Though it's basically just an old mtb with drop bars.

I think I've been drooling over @t0-ster's bikes on pedalroom and instagram ever since a friend of mine found them on the danish forum fixie-king.dk - but I admit that my previous build with the albatross bars was eerily similar to your.
But you know what they say about great minds.

regarding the wide-bar-fines I'd think you probably be fined if a policeman spotted them being a problem in traffic, or if they turned out to be the reason for a crash.
But I've never been stopped or fined either, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
