Hey, what's your Sundeal?

I believe docking is frowned upon in Utah

Jacobell · January 25, 2020, 7:17pm

at least formally

Dickason_Daniel · January 26, 2020, 2:28am

should I?

@Crustradamus you should do this.

spaghetti · January 26, 2020, 4:49am

Worth it

turpentine · January 26, 2020, 5:39pm

that katu is the nice one.I probably have $350 into mine with dynamo and lights etc. and I don’t even have discs so that one is better.

Rusty_Piton · January 26, 2020, 5:48pm

I’d probably go for it.

turpentine · January 26, 2020, 6:51pm

is this the kind of thing you have there @Bootus

Nope, mine’s a Swift sidekick that I bought on sale.

Bootus · January 27, 2020, 5:13pm

If you’re curious, do it.

Even at clearance pricing, I’m into mine more than that thing and I still have spokes and a front light to buy.

turpentine · January 27, 2020, 5:57pm

I would say I enjoy mine up to $450. Any more than that and i would want a real bike of some sort.

Bootus · January 27, 2020, 6:18pm

Rough numbers from memory, excluding any tax or tools or spare tubes or the BB that didn’t work.

Katu: $200
9-spd cassette and chain: $60
Fendering: $80
Kickstand: $20
Thumbshifter: $17.50
Uninstalled frame lock: $65
Dyno hub: $40
Rim: $25

$507.50 so far.

Still seems like a good deal to me. Pretty sure I’d be more dolla dolla bills y’all into another bike that didn’t already come with a rack / basket and still need most all the above stuff done, or more.

spaghetti · January 27, 2020, 6:57pm

i can confidently say that i like riding it more than any other hybrid conversion i’ve had for the last few years. i do feel like i’m on the tall end at 6’ but petr is somehow totally happy with his

JUGE_FREDD · January 28, 2020, 1:56am

definitely get this

if it somehow doesn’t suit your life I’ll buy it from you

consider it a free semester of circus bear college

Just read this thread for the first time. What a world.

Petr5 · January 28, 2020, 10:32am

I should chime in to say I have it set up to be able to put a foot down while seated. I don’t know, I find the fit to feel like a bmx built for my size, especially when I’m standing (now that I’ve finally learned to ignore the basket a bit). It’s fun as hell albeit a little sluggish.

JUGE_FREDD · February 2, 2020, 10:08am

someone please pick this up already

Crustradamus · February 2, 2020, 1:26pm

Oh I missed this. Seems like it would be weird at 6’2”?

Petr5 · February 2, 2020, 1:35pm

Im happy

Dickason_Daniel · February 2, 2020, 4:21pm

I believe @JUGE_FREDD has given his blessings to the Katu for Tarck Men of Stature.

I really do not need this for where I live/ride. I want it, but the money would be better spent dynamoing a bike I already have so I ride it more.
