I’m in the middle of building my Clyde ride, but I’ll post once I’m done! It’s a 2016 fuji Touring that I converted to a 10 speed (rear) and built a dynamo wheel to power a sine wave headlight. By the way I used a mavic a319 in true Big guy fashion!
ok, here’s a sneak peek...
This is a 2016 nashbar Touring (aka Fuji Touring) accept it is isnt. It’s been powder coated. You can see the Clyde wheel (Mavic a319, hand built).
Why is there a surly cross-check fork on a Nashbar Touring? Front end collision. Good thing the crappy old fork crumpled long ago. Probably better this way
Salmon compound brake pads.
Hand built Mavic a 319 laced to a Shimano dynamo hub with wheel smith butted spokes (built by me)
A Cane Creek 40 to replace the less-than-desirable generic headset
Here it is on 2 wheels (the front is one that I put on just to see the damned thing on 2 wheels). Not to just wait for my Gevenalle shifters, which are delayed from covid.
And here is my daily driver. Going to mod a few things, but this Pack Rat is such a good bike for people like us right off of the shelf!! Best I’ve ever felt on a bicycle (until I finish the Nash.)
hope you enjoyed! More to come!
I am not remotely a large person but I like this bike. For the money I still lean towards the CO OP ADV 3.1.
I like the fact it has rim brakes. But the CO OP has a more relaxed frame geometry.
