the project bike- late 1980s Gary Fisher Mt Tam plus 2009 Xtracycle Freeradical longloader kit



New monster bike parked next to some old iron. 1994 Dakota 4x4, averages 15mpg or so around town. 5000k annually, so hardly driven, but thirsty and polluting just the same.





Front view, with riser handlebars, new Vbrakes, etc. Rides like a limo, but one you have to propel yourself. Long wheelbase makes smooth, easy to ride a straight line. Cool stuff. No loads yet to report on.






Below is the final product under a full moon in the beginning of the Pennsylvania fall. Plans are to document rides, functionality, carbon saved, and physical benefit gained. Stay tuned!
