Those pedals! That seatpost! STORN
@Toast had one of those iirc
Love those things. There’s a guy I see regularly on a single speeded one with nerd bike parts. It’s sweet. And I also see one locked around that’s a total rust bucket with all original (broken) parts. It’s also sweet.
best friction thumbies ever atmo

That Rawland rack was designed for thin stays to connect to mid fork mounts, so props to whatever legs they managed to squish in there instead.
At first I thought they had attached some Wald legs to the Radlawn rack. If you zoom all the way in the Wald legs are attached directly to the basket, the rack is ziptied to the basket, and the rack only appears to be attached to the frame at the crown. Never ever thought about doing it that way myself.
The dream is alive and well outside the hardware store this morning. TB14 and mismatched 75s on that sucker.

I’m down south visting my mammy. Retirement village life is pretty cool TBH. Seen this bike the last couple of days. Either stole or abandoned from some poor RSE worker. No hipsters here so its pretty safe.

This is a project that I’ve had for far too long, I need some help finishing this off. My goal was to modify the bike to run on (a) gasoline 2 stroke (there is an 80cc engine attached) (b) electric (there is a 250W motor on the front wheel) and also run (c) the 80cc engine on hydrogen and the electric motor from a (d) hydrogen fuel cell.
I need someone with space to store the bike and the energy to help take some running measurement of the bike moving (there is a data logger attached for speed and monitoring the electric power).My end goal is to write a paper for publication on the quad fueled bicycle and a comparison on the energy demands for different modes of operation.
I don’t think there is a crazy amount of work to do, I think we will have all the running data in a couple of weeks if we put in a couple of evenings each week on the project.
I’m happy to ride the bike to collect the data, particularly when running on hydrogen.
After the data is collected the bike, 80cc engine, electric motor, batteries are all yours. I will keep the hydrogen fuel cell and high pressure hydrogen tank.
The video below was taken a number of years ago when the 80CC motor was running on hydrogen.https://youtu.be/P3LPWVMB54k?si=YrNCYfqDjiIukMMV
I live in south Austin so hopefully there is someone not too far away that wants this crazy challenge?
