Yeah, that bike is sweet, I've seen it in person and it's much cooler than any Surly.

Hey Mike, can we see some pics of your bike with the exercise sprocket?

wow a 10 speeder! how fast does that thing fly? i have a one speed on my spaceliner and it always feels like its going to take off

thanks ej
skoda just wait pict will be posted in the next couple of days(here in the gallery)
and josh she moves pretty well
say 18 mph+ had mutiple critical mass riders on high dollar road bikes ask
me "HOW do you KEEP UP on that THING with those BIG tires"
and i say "it's ALL in the GEARING"
BUT "gotta love the 3 speed"
find you a 3 speed coaster brake for thar spaceliner
keep the same # teeth sprocket on the back and front
and then you will have a low and high gear with 2nd still being what you currently have
you'll then have a true speedster(looking for space)
have fun all
and later
mike

this is it. my mission begins today; you've inspired me... till now the old bikes I've been playing with have been Stingrays and other 20-inchers. now I want to piece together something like this. the 26-inch frame with the 24-inch wheels and ballooners is just amazing... i'm already thinking about the few parts I already have and where to look to find more...

edit: ouch. the issue of BRAKES just occurred to me. on a bike like this, what options are there for brakes? obviously there's coaster and disc... i thought I'd seen these big horseshoe-shaped cantilever brake adapters on low-buck mountain bikes. center bolt mounts to the normal caliper brake mounting hole. think they'd work?
