Thanks, Alex. I'm sure my frame is larger, but not entirely sure. I'm still coming to WTB on Tuesday night w/Ashley. We wanted to go for a ride anyway, and she wants to look at something.

Perhaps I can test your Trek later this week? Could we also look into a trailer hitch for the Fisher? Or crate for back rack?

And it's good to know that someone whose house keys I have trusts me! I really miss being in the same building and our beers on the porch. See you tomorrow at the shop.

I thought I heard some music from The Wizard of Oz as she was making her way over to greet us.

I wonder if that small spirited lady from across the alley rides a bike.

These are some awesome creations!

How does the 2 speed work? It sounds like one pedals backwards to shift? But some of those hubs have coaster brakes also. I built a three speed, which I love, but I only use first and second gear and find the shifter pretty annoying, so a two speed build might be in my future.

I'll also be stealing the idea of inspired by your practice of using old steel mountain bikes instead of road bikes to build commuter/utility bikes. My three speed was built on an '88 Le Tour frame, which is pretty great, but squeezing fenders on that thing, even with 700s is a pretty fussy operation.

Thanks for posting pictures of such inspiring builds!
