The other half wanted a bike that was easy on the back. We had an old F1000 frame that was too small for me. Solution was high bars and a saddle that let me sit back a bit...
Rides better than it looks.
Bleaching eyes optional... ;o)

I do have a Sturmey Archer 8spd with disk to go on the back, once built up and I've figured out chain tensioning.

@lyons - if by the fact it's a canondale, yeah, fair enough I'd have used something else had I had it.
But, that bike had been sitting in bro-in-law's mum's garage for over six years unridden. When he gave it up (he's in the US now and a lifestyle change etc) I rescued it and used the group set on one bike, servicing it as I went. Then put together this bike, but in doing so haven't abused the frame at all, it'll build up to a 'proper' bike some time in the future. And like this it'll get ridden most weekends with luck!Posted 1 year ago # -

That is sick!
Just rake the head angle out by about 30 degrees more, extend the fork legs by about 3 feet, and fit a 20" front wheel, then it'll be even more perfect!
Then get Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper to ride it across America and film it...

Got mine from here which is in Aus (as am I). But have a search for banana seat, I'm sure there's someone local who will have one... Sometimes on ebay too.
Was tempted by a full height sissy bar and back rest, but bike had to be something that could be ridden without too much crazy.Posted 1 year ago # -
that is a heck of a lot better looking than any of the manufactured cruisers that you see round and about..
simple clean light function over form.. very much in the ethos of the original chopped motorcycles..very slick

Cheers all. One wonders about one's creations and whether others will see the beauty...
@Dorset, not yet completed last night, and today has been a family day - need to get a few pics done for sure.
And that green beast is mad. Not sure I'd want to pedal that rear wheel though, the 2.4's on mine are bad enough!Posted 1 year ago # -

Lionheart, what tyres for.....well.....not sure what you'd do on that!
I'd really like a shot on that, but I'd probably be giggling too much to get anywhere.Posted 1 year ago # -
