Some closer frame shots included. I've generally taped the frame to protect from cable rub and has always had full mudguards so the frame is well protected. The rear triangle has got some marking but no chips. Could be cleaner I confess, grease marks a plenty...

I think the frame would be too tall if I'm honest.

Still a problem with pics? Seems to work ok for me

I'm just shy 6ft. The saddle is a bit higher than my riding position as have been hanging the bike in garage by the saddle.

Surly website geo is pretty detailed, hope that helps. If you can be asked I'm happy for you to come and ride it.

Just a heads up that I'm selling my Midnight Special

Hi - looking to beef up my boy's ride with wider tyres.

Nothing too flash but 2.2in minimum width.

Have some 29er rocket rons, Clement 700c 38mm cross tyres if anyone fancies a trade.

Cheers.

Hello Folks

Now my bundles of joy can ride their own bikes (competently) our Bakfiets cargo bike is getting sadly neglected and its too good to be wasted. It's basically a car replacement good for carrying pretty much anything including: children, food, mates, other bikes, dogs, beer and more food!

We bought new from our LBS in Hanwell which is sadly no more. Its in absolutely fab condition and has years of life in it.

We plumped up for the 8 speed Nexus hub, drum brakes, and all the extra accessories shown in the images below.

RRP was approx £2,500. https://www.bakfiets.com/modellen/cargobike-lang/cargobike-classic-long
A lot of imitations of this design but this is the real deal from Holland and is bombproof.

For the job lot we're asking £1,800 and collection in West London (happy to ride it a certain distance to deliver also)

Would be great to rehome on LFGSS but will eventually end up on eBay.

Cheers

Thanks! You're welcome to try it out for sizing etc

It's a 56. Love it. Haven't ridden anything else since I built it.

Price drop to £500 - otherwise needs to go eBay next week.

A note on the forks. I haven't had them serviced since owning them. The action is smooth, rebound adjustment responds correctly and they hold preload pressure well.

Its a fair point to raise but I don't think this rig has seen enough riding to warrant a fork service.

Why don't you post some of your "little japanese bushes" and show us how its done then?!

Hello!

Stored in West London but could arrange to meet in Central also.

Morning.

The company I work for manages a collection of buildings on Holloway Road which comprise new workspaces, a joinery and a theatre company. Facing Holloway road we have 2 small retail spaces which could make a neat cafe with workshop and outdoor seating.

Our idea is that these spaces would be the front-of-house to the site helping direct guests and deliveries for which we could offer a base salary. The turnover of the cafe and workshop, however, could be upside income to an individual with the freedom to develop a brand and a business.

Clearly, we don't have it all worked out but this is an attempt to reach out and see if anyone has an appetite to make a new business work with the advantage of a subsidized income and limited capital outlay.

If this sounds remotely interesting message me and we can have a chat.

Cheers

Exactly.

Tbh the 50t rolls nicely with an 11-34 cassette down the canal.

34t inner ring is more than sufficient for any climbs

Built last weekend and am in love.
