Still have it to this day and it's basically my daily transport around town!! |
Hold on... :lol:
I think Bentstrider is folding one for you right now... :thumbsup: http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...8723576401.jpg |

How are you rigging stuff?
I have rear side baskets with the clip rack between them, and I mounted a water bottle holder and tire pump on the frame. There is a small tool bag mounted off the back of the seat, with a rubber patch kit and basic repair tools. It's an old ten speed Schwinn Varsity. I don't have anything on the front bars, except I wrapped the entire bars with water pipe (rubberfoam) insulation. I have to keep moving my hands and body to different positions, and I'll use the entire handlebars in different spots to stay comfortable. :p |

The grocery pannier is for everything while the top trunk carries extra tubes and other repair equipment. I've also got a 7.2 AmpH 12v hobby battery hooked up to some ORV headlights and a 140dB airhorn from Harbor Freight. These are all attached via various linkings of velcro straps, used inner-tube, and zip-ties. All of this weight is transportable thanks to 110 psi street tires. |
I run 100 psi, and man I really have to avoid any ruts, or I'll be adjusting spokes.
I have a little battery lamp off the front riser, and a red strobe off the back... but I mostly ride in the day, so I never need them. |

The air horn is cool as hell :lol:
I'd love to see a bicycle cop chase you down for an equipment check. Light you up, and get on his PA..."alright pull over!" http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...d10/busted.gif I went in the other direction with my bike. (everything light weight) I like to cruise at around 15-20mph on flatland. It's all backwoods and hills where I'm at. Most excitement I get is, barely outrunning a dog, and having to growl back and kick in a panic. :pissedoff: This one dog was a frequent offender, so I started packin' a squirtgun. :D |

The riding's relatively flat and non-windy down there, but I deal with high-winds and rolling hills up here in the Victorville area on my daily commute. As for dogs, they usually run the other way when I dismount. |
