That’s very good of you! Much appreciated.

Second dibs if the hold is relinquished.

Hey! Good to meet you too. Thanks for the directions.

That's about the best you can hope for in terms of a response I reckon. Glad they've understood exactly why their driver is a cnut.

A friend chipped in with "Rolls Choice" and "Patty Damn Good".

I heard it on the bovine.

Shank you very much

@PhilDAS Heal up well DASniece! I'm so sorry to hear this. If she wants to ride (I bet she will, she sounds totally badass) count me in on the crowdfunding.

I'm certain that this is my old frame that was stolen a couple of years ago. Should have kept a closer eye on this thread. :(

Heart melts from the mental image.

I'd love to get my little one on a cargo bike but it's not high on the list of purchases right now.

Sounds fair enough to me. I suppose weight is less of an issue when scooting at low speeds in any case.

Minor dredge: are solid rubber tyres the way to go? Is pneumatic overkill? I thought it might be more comfortable for the wee one.

I've basically just been reading this thread instead of working for the last few days. Inspiring stuff. I think I may have to join the 27.5+ club and get out on some adventures.

Has anyone on here built up a Genesis Longitude? I UTFS but it turned up nothing.

Thanks for the options, all. I was already thinking that re-spacing the rear might be the best option. With this in mind, does anyone have a recommendation for a wheel set with hubs that will fit the bill and rims that will take a brake and have an ID of >17mm?

Incidentally, the little one will be on the top tube (Weeride) rather than over the rear wheel, but I'm a fairly big unit so I'd appreciate the strength in any case.

Hmm, that's an option. I'm trying to keep this fairly budget as I'll be getting something much more modern in the not too distant future. Any suggestions?

What're the most gears I can fit with 126mm rear spacing? I'm building a bike for baby carrying around Bristol and need some gears. Would it be wise to have wide rims if I'm planning to have >33mm tyres?

Hey Tom, I could be interested. I'm living in Bristol now though so that could complicate things on the pick up front.

I'll drop you a pm.

Thanks.

Subbed for my vicarious pleasure. Sounds like an amazing trip.

Yeah! It's lasted really well. Seems a shame to let it go.

Ah well, whenever you get back to it let us know.

OK, both the springs have gone on my keyclip. Is there any way to repair them or do I have to accept that I'm going to have to move on?

That's awful. Rest in peace, rider.

No problem.
