I know you all are probably going to kill me , but I know a bunch of you still take interest in those two wheeled contraptions. So here’s a thread just for stuff about them or projects you’re working on involving them.
Mine is a DK step up project. It all started with the tires. My dad ordered two bright blue ones online. Blue doesn’t really go with tan So that convinced me to re-paint it. Now it turned into a super project of getting new parts and the whole nine yards. I’ll post pics when i get some.
wait, you can get NDS cranks and hubs for BMX? or is your picture mirror-imaged?
Either way it looks great with those tires.
My two wheeled thingy has been feeling neglected as of late but is set up with an Xtracycle free-radical and bags. I have considered selling it but know that I would regret it as soon as I live in an area where it is possible to bike to the store. (without having to go 40km on a highway with no shoulders and lined with crosses marking where various pedestrians and hitch-hikers have been killed by drunks)
Just built up a bike that had been waiting patiently in a box. 29" BMX. Awesome fun. The bike is stock (so far) and is a fantastic smile generating device.
just got done building my new bike

full XT
In our stash we now have:
Mercian King of Mercia (built up in audax style).
Focus Wasgo (hub geared winter commuting bike)
Thorn touring tandem (now with kiddy cranks on the back)
Kona Hahanna hardtail MTB (currently converting into road tourer)
Kona Caldera hardtail MTB (replacement for the Hahanna)
Islabikes Beinn 20"
The Mercian and Focus are mine. I haven’t got a mountain bike at the moment - I ride unicycles off-road. The two Kona’s are my wife’s - since she’s been ousted from the back of the tandem by our daughter her old bike’s becoming a tourer and she’s got a new one for off-road duties.
I do ride bikes sometimes too. I have a Trials bike that I got for really cheap and a ghetto fixed gear that I use only to get where I can’t bring my uni inside I’ve spend about 300$ for these 2 bikes, my money goes for unicycles
