@Dexter cheers!

@jono84 yeah I mean I think the forks could take the weight as I had my mate sit on it and was fine. But you'd need a biiggg basket and maybe some kind of power steering haha. Cargo bike would defo do it but mucho money

So wald 139 was still bit on the small side. After being unsuccessful looking for the size basket I wanted I saw @Verbs_&_Nouns thread the other day and I ordered a Basil Crate. Yesterday it arrived in 'faded blossom'. Colour is an unbelievabley good match so well happy with that. And I discovered a pretty cool local shop/business in the process. https://www.reallyusefulbikes.co.uk/

Nice looking bikes and lovely photos dude. Fully support the bluelugwankerism on the muddyfox as well. Would yellow brake cable housings be too much?

Yoo this is also exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks for posting :)

So much workshop/space goals! Love to see it

Yeah, tbh I've been wondering if a mini cargo bike is a better option anyway as weight won't affect the handling and may be more comfortable for dog for corners etc. This is an awesome example. I hope to get welding at some point and something similar will be high on the list to make for sure. Not a cheaper option though haha.

Thanks :) My dog is very small only 5.5kg. Which is why I can get away with just the Wald 139 basket on there. If she was any bigger think would need bigger basket

@MisterMikkel Yes it's growing on me to be fair.

@maj thanks, me and the dog are sorted for Halloween costume atleast

thanks, yeah I built it. Its a shimano DH-3D37-NT hub laced to revenge industries double wall rim a friend gave me

spent way more time than i can justify struggling to upload pics but thats it

.

hopefully with photos this time..

lost one of the pink chainring bolts on maiden voyage due to forgetting fully tighten up but other than that well happy. yet to do long trip with doggo. But hopefully get that in soon.

Still want proper grips, less knobbly rear tyre (2.3 was too fat, was fine in the stand but kept rubbing when riding/loaded so had to swap out and just used what was available), bracket for rear light (electrical taped to seatpost atm). But mostly there now. Have realised that dynamo lighting is probs not really necessary for this bike, but spent too much time on the functional bikes thread i guess and just so cooooool.

That's serious distance! You riding this because have to carry mad shit for work or just like it?

That's a phwoarbit! Luckily too big for me, very nice glws

The video thing is cool (as is everything else on here). Thanks for taking the time to record and share. As others have said, all very inspiring. You da man!

New logo engraving thing is sick too

Beauty! Love it

@popdown yeah 100%. My point was just about budget really

@bobble I'll pm you

To add to what aggi and silly_savage said. If your budget over around 350k you are defintely not limited to 'doer uppers'. My place is eastville (less than 10min cycle to St werbs, 15 to the centre and walk to centre in 30-40mins) was was 235k in 2019 and good to go, 3 bed (2bed made to 3 so one room is v small) with garden, just improving what we want. House in my road sold for 245 this year, seemed to be in decent condition, just need updating.

Maybe just need to widen the search a bit? St werbs and montpelier are nice but living in shithole/building site will be fucking shite!

I'll take the wald if you'll post

*edit pming

Pm for gb mudguards

3rd stem please

Love this man, looks awesome. What is the basket you got on there please?

Recoloured the decals (tried to colour match the pink LFGSS ones but IRL not quite right which is annoying) and got them printed by retro decals.

Extra stoked as went to local charity bike workshop place this morning to pick up something i'd ordered and asked to have a rummage in parts bin for a 27.0 seatpost while i was there. been looking out for a seatpost on ebay etc for a while. Unbeliveably at the top of the pile waiting for me was a 27.0 zoom seatpost no logos but not badly scratched or anything, and even found some clampy bits that fitted! £5 later and there was one big smile on my face riding home.

So build as it stands. Front tyre is on the way, got dyno lights ready to fit just need some wires. Need handlebars and have a rideable bike. Although will be changing some bits out for sure (different stem, silver headset spacers, 9+ speed rear wheel+cassette, need a front deraileur, probs new chainrings, crate/box etc etc)
