That last one is wild.

How do you lean the tricycle one? Or is it intended for people with injuries or balance issues?

A few pics from the North American Handbuilt bike show from today.








There was some cool stuff there.

I bought a specialized awol this past fall and I love it. Hoping to outfit it with some frame bags or panniers and do some bike packing.

I need to get a new bike...

[Herr Faust Schinken]

yeah its bit harder to learn when you are 22 compared to 7 but had to happen eventually

[LateFan]

You're gonna love it!

Mr Ham - I'm kind of having a sad here....you've never had a bike? ..even when you were 6?

But good on you, go for it! They're such a blast. One of life's simple joys. And (I think) the most efficient machine of any kind.

Enjoy it. Momentum and balance. Wear a helmet. Spin the pedals, don't chug in a high gear - you're a one-cylinder cycle engine, not a 454.

My mom tried to teach me as a kid but I was stubborn and didn't want to learn, so it's mostly my fault.

Anyone want a sweet picture of a bike? Or a book of sweet pictures?

Just seeing if there is any interest in the world of art / bike people for a project like this.

[BlackbirdM3]

Nope, never heard of it. I don't venture onto many bike forums these days as there aren't any modern bikes I have any interest in. (There are a few, but they are rare)

Will, are you on the Paceline forum? I bet that bike would be well-received there.

Anyone interested in a 56 cm Litespeed Vortex frame and fork? I've decided to part with mine. Its in perfect shape, decals are all in good shape as well. 6/4 Titanium, 1 1/8 matching Reynolds Ouzo Pro fork. No pics of the frame and fork alone, but this is the full bike built up. Its a sweet riding frame. I'd like to get $1200 plus shipping. I'm open to offers however.

I know this is not classifieds but I must ask. Does anyone have a spare group they'd be willing to let go for cheap? I'm putting together an indoor trainer and just can't justify buying new stuff for a bike that won't see the light of day.

BB 68mm 113mm square taper
175 cranset if not a 170 will do
Band on/strap on style derailleurs

The more you can throw in the better.

I got a crank set with bottom bracket that I've been meaning to put up for sale. I bought it brand new and only put ~300 miles on it. I have an older bike (older derailleurs and rear cassette) and it just didn't sync well enough for me.

Bottom Bracket: Shimano SM-BB4600 (68mm)
Crankset: Shimano Tiagra SG-X 30-38-50
Crankarms: 172.5 (FC-4603)
