Cargo bike is 👌 Have you thought about what you might change as she grows older? That's a niche in cargo bike land I feel is a bit neglected

Exiting! I think that the market niche in regards to framebuilding that could prove the most profitable is as an consultant to prospective Walty-buyers (I think I would be willing to pay if I didn't want to learn).

That looks....sturdy. Would ride!

Good for you! I'm hoping that this is the bike that finally takes away all my excuses at riding drop bar bikes during winter (in Stockholm). What colour did you choose?

A bit of local LLL at the in-laws. My mother in-law is usually a reasonable person, so I'll assume it's a gift. Also found it suitable that it's Made in the UK
Translates roughly to:
"The secret to staying young is to live an honest life, eating at a gingerly pace and lying about your age"

Also wondering if above is basically some kind of bastard child between the Crust Bombora and Romanceur. I'm thinking about nameing it the Karhu Rombora.

My money's on the 4003

So, WFH hasn't really gone as planned... On the other hand I think that I´ll be heavily inspired by the Bearclaw Thunderhawk but my thinking is that I´ll have a mostly horizontal top tube and non-tapered headtube due to astetics.

Or maybe....

Or mabye this is a better idea (but with dark blue top)? Fadez obvs takes more time but might be worth it?

Yes! Cantis seem like a good 2-in-1 option along with disc ISO disc tabs.
I'm thinking that if I could get my hands on a Konga yoke that would be very nice vis a vi the Finnish theme.

Whats a good paintjob with white and dark blue? Maybe the white base with the sponge thing that Squid do? It's something I could most likely do myself

I do feel that I'm missing a rig in my life, also it could be merged with Finish-Summer bike idea(and might be the kind of bike that I could ride in winter with a tire swap!)

Also, if I do get something inside my thick skull during the class, In theory I could always build myself the all-all-all-road bike in the future?

Looking good, the hooks are a really clever addition!

So I'm going to Roubaix to build a frame and the more I think about I'm realising that I might just have all the frames that I need in my life a the moment (and in by me forseeable future).

So what do I have? I think that I'd list what I have to help find the gap

I have the following frames/bikes:
A Duell Professional fast road bike-rim brakes
A Lemond Gan semi fast roadbike (takes 28 mm tyres just fine)
An all-road Isen with disc brakes
A coupled Geekhouse cantilever travelbike
A Gan Well track bike with road disk fork (winter bike)
A Singular Swift mtb with eccentirc BB modified with eyelets for front rack and fenders
A Singular Peregrine mk3 all road thing
A Thorn Audax (current commuter/child carrier)
A classic french audax bike

So with all the information above I thougth that I would build a bike that:
*Built with with Columbus Life tubing (?)
*Pacenti Paris Brest fork crown
*Takes 32 mm tires and fenders with a caliper brake

• Has cantilever fittings for 650b wheels
  *Fork with ISO disc/canti/caliper fittings
  *Rear ISO diskbrake tab
  *PMW sliding dropouts (If i can find them in Europe...)
  *External routing
  *Fittings for DT shifters
  
• Front and rear rack fittings
  
  

So apart from this resembeling the bike version of the infmaous hamburger-french fries-calzone Carlskrove I´m afraid that this will be a classic master of none kind of situation.

The sensible thing might be to build some kind of gravel/allroad thing that could be used at my patners parents in Finland and would be used for road/ death gravel/overnighter-mix....

I really don´t knowq what to do. Please help!

Just read trough all of this and I'm greatly impressed!
Donated and hope that more people do the same.

Whenever I this much snow I try to convince myself that Ineed a fat bike.

He really seems to be enjoying himself. Have you considered welding him a sleigh (I'd definitely be in the market for a bespoke sleigh)

10/10 would ride!

Nice! The jig looks really clever. Your own design?

Really enjoy this thread, but I do have one question. What do plan to use the seal pup skull for?

The sensible man's XTR. Also black Sharpie is an option, It'd be the Don Diego de la Vega of groupsets

I think what's needed is a Blockchain (Obvs called Bikechain TM pending) where verified Buyers could categories their purchased bike, so that the people could finally throw of the yoke of marketing. I'm hoping that Trek or Canyon delivers this power to the masses.

More nautically themed DeFoe memes please!

I'd say that the best colour is liteskin, function being form. Also if your doing custom cranks (wich you really should!) brace on a spider, this is based on the frustration of having to bin a perfectly good chainring because it was welded onto a crank made of butter.

Took a dive trough the parts bin and built this up. Had forgotten how much riding fixed was, also as risk averse/coward the discs really adds to the enjoyment. Come ice I'll put a studded tire up front and lose the reflectors up front.

That this hasn't sold is crazy, if it was in la Suede I would go for it!
