Sharpness is overrated anyway. It looks like a really fun bike!

Not Okay Electric is also a decent band name though :D

You've spent too little time browsing the blue lug flickr account then!
V nice bike though

Never having to worry about lights is v nice.

Okay Electric sounds like a mid naughts indie band.. In a good way

You'd have to live somewhere without ANY inclines to get away with a singlespeed Nihola imo - even if it does come with 250w of assistance.
I had no problem picking up the inside wheel on a fully loaded postal Nihola going around corners (~100kg rider + 50-60kg of mail in the front), so tipping might a concern still.
On the contrary I've never felt like I was tipping over on our Bullitt.
Black Iron Horse might be the best option.

I rode one as postal worker and they handle like an ATV more than a bicycle. Also heavy as hell!
You have to be prepared to lean/countersteer with your body into corners or go very, very slowly.
The design feels more rigid than a Christiania though as the frame doesn't scissor.

Correct me if im wrong - but there's just one flimsy looking caliper brake on there?
Looks like a lot of fun at 12 mph!

Good points. I think the exposure makes the paint job appear darker than irl.

You can used regular 24mm BB's with an adapter for gxp

It’s like a Rivendell for places with rain and mud. I love it!

Depends a little on the rack.
+1 for disc brake adapters, but realistically any small piece of sheet metal with two holes in it and some nyloc nuts/threadlocker and you're good to go after some fettling

Fyi our eldest was 9 months when she first had a go in the Yepp Maxi.
Couldn't ride for long though, as she would fall asleep when she got bored after 20-30 minutes.

We do have a Croozer Kid 2, that we use to take our 2-year-old and 2-month old out together instead of a pram/buggy. Little one sleeps like a log in the infant sling!

Stripping cranks (and brake levers?) would really be over the top and suit it quite nice imo. Effort vs. gain might be totally off balance though.

They weight limit is 15 kg, if I remember correctly.

We've used a yepp maxiwith the seatpost bracket extensively. It's a very nice bit of kit, but carrying a 16 kg child on the rear really offsets the center of gravity. I'm not to keen to try it at the 25 kg weight limit - which is one of the reasons we bought a Bullitt and I'm looking at a MacRide seat for the eldest.

edit- ours are yepp maxi

I think a dynamo hub would be a perfect fit for those spook zone miles.

Sounds great! Thanks for the reply. I'm really impressed with them in 650x42 flavour. The roundest cheap tyre I've ever seen.
I'm looking forward to see if they feel different to the 40mm marathons on the bullitt currently.

edit: the picture is not mine, but the bike that made me look into them for the bullitt.

You have any real world experience with the Continental Contact Urban yet?
I just ordered some for my bullitt, as I love them on my dad bike, and would be interested to know the sidewalls are up to snuff.
I should say I use the Bullitt for carrying my two-year-old mostly.

Wow. Last two minis are really nice.

To be honest, so do I - hard to justify, when I already have a german version.
I am considering having a mate modify it with rear rocker dropout and chuck a stridsland fork on it.

I know the feeling. I use our bullitt for commuting as well - I did not enjoy having to resort to the car, when the gear cable frayed and stuck me in 4th.

I love it when a plan comes together.
Also a contender for fastest execution of a project on here.

Current Disc Truckers are wildly different. 26" models form 42 to 56 and 700c from 56 and upwards.
Head tube angles are also 1 degree slacker on the 26" from a cursory glance.

That is awesome!
