A cheapish frame, I built it up with the parts from my dead Raleigh Sprite. A customer brought in a dead Bianchi Touring Bike, and let me keep the fork. I had this awesome chainguard from Nate's Royal Enfield folder, so I attatched it via sheet metal screw and copper tubing to the BB. The rack is a warranty take-off from a Jorg and Olif Dutch Bike. It's super heavy duty, but won't take western panniers well. Also you'll notice the plastic object on the seattube- that's for Hazel's babyseat. Last winter my budy Brandon borrowed this bike for a few weeks, and dubbed it the "Ice Cutter". the big 27x 1 3/8 Club Roost tyres handle winter roads and off-roads quite well.
