WOW Gary where you about 20 years ago with this bike!!! I needed a bike like this when I was commuting /Shopping/exploring foreign ports, by bicycles for the 22 years I was in the NAVY.. My new job requires me to have a truck.. I needed a bike like this when I was car-less (by Choice) …I am wondering if you are going to make this bike with road 700C or 29er wheel s, why 26in wheels. Plus I would like to be able to order it with an internal rear hub like the Rolf 14 speed..
But I wouod still use one 700c/29er wheels and Rolf 14 speed

Put on an internal hub and fenders and that would be one sweet bike. In the meantime I guess I’ll look into the Rwanda Coffee Bike that Ritchey makes.

Wonderful! Would rather have Magura HS-33 than disc brakes (for stronger wheels), though. And mid-fork eyelets for lowriders.

A child’s cockpit that apparently the child does not use. Check the picture!!!

Gary began preaching slow and functional bikes for years. He would come back from Asia and Europe and throw down with endless rants destined to be ignored. Now, his vision is being embraced. This bike looks really cool. Good job.

Knowing that Gary was ahead of the curve on this, I wonder what is on his mind today. Because that is what we will be reading about in 5 years.

I was also very impressed with the simple series they introduced, def. a bike to consider for the rest of us!!

thanks for posting, I could recommend these to my friends that would love to take the kids with them in a cool ride!

On a diff. note Im happy I got to see Gary still kicking butt, last year in a CCCX race here in san francisco, was pretty fun.
