Yiha ! Went to Haarlem today, and payed a visit to "Het Mannetje" bicycleshop for a retro headlight for my Ghostrider, but unfortunately they didn't have the one I'm looking for (Nirve). But then I spotted something in the corner: an Xtracycle extentionset ! So I went home a happy boy after all :mrgreen: especially because it was on sale and I payed a good price for it (€180 instead of approx. €400). Saves me the p&p from America as well.
Had a first mock-up to see if I could put it on my Ghostrider easily, but soon discovered I have to change a few things...for starters I need a longer axle in my backwheel, and also need to shave of a little off of the fatty-O tire because it is a very tight fit right now - or change it for another tire. Also I had to grind off the two connectors for the cantilever brakes, as they were in the way of my backtire, and I have a coasterbrake anyway. Next is putting two chains together and figure out a chaintensioner, and I probably need a longer gearcable, or change the position of the one I have now to somewhere on the frame.
Pics will follow soon, to be continued ! 8)
