Nice

Random question -- what's the centre stand? I'm looking for a bipod one for my tandem (to make loading children easier) but having trouble finding one that'll fit around a 2in tyre when folded.

These are 26" MTB tires. INNOVA 26x2.35 59-559. Here is a link of the store I ordered from (in the Netherlands): http://www.cruisecontrolbikes.nl/algemeen/1607-streethog--whitewall-26x235-inch-1000000002669.html

This is the same as mine and I ride the 2.35" tires with it and have plenty of clearance...

The colour was a bit of crime to find out. Whit a normal grey, it looked a bit pink-ish because of the red wheels, but with the green-ish grey it's just right... In real live you can see the powdercoat is with a light structure in it, so it realy looks like a ground/base coat... kind of unfinished... exactly as I wanted it, so it looks a bit more RadRod-a-like...



Thanks for the comments all !! I'll post some pics of it when the fenders are mounted...

....and than... back to Mountainbikes again.. though this really was a fun project to do in between.... and gets me at the pub when not in my shed or in the woods...

Today I picked up the my home made wooden fenders... and put 'm on... Now it looks real classy I think...

Finally finished.... so to pub..

That's very cool!
I like the chain guard, is it single speed specific? Looks like 'Chainslider' on the pics, do you have any info?

It's called a Chainglider... from Hebie.. It's for bikes with one cog at the rear... this bike has 2 gears with the 'new' Sturmey Archer kick back 2-speed hub...
