I am in need to escape grey & cold weather in January or February - I am thinking Malaga could be a good point of the warm-ish sun at that point. If anybody toured around that area in similar time of year, would love your input. Sierra Nevada looks lovely, but it's going to be cold in the high altitude. Also, I would prefer to wild camp most of the time.

I thought the screen writers guild were still on strike.

Get them reports coming, seems like a rough start but youll get it through!

Seeing maj & other bikes in bespoked makes me smile, great frames, looks like a solid set design aswell 👌

this forum gives me hope in humanity, sending good vibrations, i hope you will rock this bike soon

A++ for mooncruisers and patina. Would look sick painted too!

This works for touring, right?

Subbed, planning to do a similar trip in a year time with my wife, so I am very looking forward yours :))

Update on Marin.

I received mudguards, put a wald basket on front, it's setup for my commutes or daily rides around, had a lovely time building it

Just a random alu motorcycle handlebar from a local shop

Updating a project which nearly took a year.

It was a summer time, my fiance's birthday was on its way & I decided to gift her a retro mtb. She only has one roadie which she loves but I can't take her on any small trips off to gravel/forest roads. So there it goes. I found a Trek 970 from 1992 or something, it was battered but the lugs and sparkle purple colour looked great. It came all the way from Germany to Lithuania and once I started inspecting it, I found it had a crack at the chainstay. After getting almost full refund from seller, I gave it to my local lbs friends to weld it. They applied a small & solid patch of steel (maybe not ideal but fixed the case for the time being in a budget friendly way). I painted it with german-engineering-antirust-technology primer + black montana paints. You cant even see it now.

Some parts bin with 8 speed xt shifter & flashy xtr derailleur. Stridsland inspired moto bars + bmx stem combinacione. She also asked me to put a wald basket on front & purple cables for brakes, so it's on!

During spring time, I made her a halfie frame bag + a basket bag for runarounds the cafe/parks/shops etc. It's one of the most used bags in a house now haha.

Today we both took it to a local wild beach, taking our folding chairs, books and blankets for a cozy morning book read. On the mid way to the beach she said she wants to do couple of nights of bikepacking. Success : )

Here are some pictures

I would ride that as a coast city cruiser/hauler

That is actually really nice concept, being able to open up a half of a side, sometimes I miss this option while sleeping under tarp. Also, seeing this is not that difficult to make it MYOG. I am just curious about triangle - does it keep shape, does it flop? Or is it easy to keep the tension of it?

Thanks for the good words guys : )

Maguras maybe will live on it in a future, but I really enjoy having canti on at least one of my bikes

.

I finally got around to finish it, still little tweaks are in need. Needs a brass bell, silver bottle cage at some point. Proper photos soon

They are around 73 to be precise

I love the elegance of the rear rack!

I think so 😄 but its a good position with a this bar sweep

It's about 18-19" but I am not located at UK & not sure if I want to sell it just yet

Neon yellow brakes didn't work with the whole aesthetics of silver and classy green paint so I left black cantilevers. I am gear cables, flite, chain & small bits away from being finished

Thank you, I am still tinkering what to do with it, maybe ill pass it to my brother

These are ergotec moon cruiser, albatross seemed a little too narrow for me.

Got few parts ready, magura brakes were can sprayed black, took some time to remove most of it. Cables needs to be changed. Shifters sorted. Need to make up my mind on derailleur - 9 speed xtr or something modern.
