Naked Pictures!
Totally shameless traffic grabbing title, but I forgot how good Frankenbike looks without all the electrickery hanging off it… Came back from the bike shop freshly fettled and ready for 72v power…

Hot naked bike action
New rear wheel to take the £25 shimano deore hydraulic disc – new rack (coz Dave managed to spanner the other one while “customizing” it to fit and new front V Brakes should help to stop it…

Tight Squeeze
The A2Z frame adapter worked a treat (which saved the cost of a new frame) allowing plenty of new mounting points for mudguard and rack although it’s a tight squeeze – the bleed nipple is a tricky fit.

full frontal
Still loving the bike’s “face” – you can see the new Shimano V Brakes – what you can’t see is how well adjusted they are – Dave is quite anal about setting brakes perfectly and they grab like nobody’s business.
OK – so that’s naked pictures, tight squeeze, nipple, rack, full frontal and anal in the one post – if that doesn’t get some traffic, nothing will
