....and the handlebar. I have a wide one on my Flying Ace. Love the gentle bend, almost flat profile.
I'd probably put them on just about every one of my bikes if I could find them...

Thanks, Fellas! The Handlebars do be grabbing all the attention on this one. I wish more was needed., it feels weird to get a bike that needs virtually nothing., especially after three Hiawatha and all that work.
It's easily the smoothest bike I've ever ridden prior to working on it, next to a new Electra.

that Hawthorne is beautiful.
Rode Shoestring around the neighborhood earlier this morning. Decided to have a little fun and clamp an Ace to the front rack for more horsepower.
Ya ever try balloons instead of playing cards? Those little ones ya make animals out of, about a small fist worth of air and then tie each end on the fork and fold it into the spokes when you're rolling. Mom did it for me first time when I was a kid and I was the King of the street that day.
Never heard of that trick! I'll have to check it out.
Finally got everything on the Trek SoHo S Deluxe working perfectly. Nice bike once I got used to how quite it is with the belt drive. 1st Shimano Nexus-8 I've owned as well as the 1st Roller brake set up I've had. Rides incredibly smooth. But my old Huffy is still my favorite bike to ride. I figured out a good way to make the rear rack work so after I'm back from this evenings ride on ot I'll be putting the saddlebags back on it.
Got the studded “snow” tires off and the Fat Franks on.
Rides so quiet and smooth now
I LOVE THIS ^^^ BIKE !!!
Right On!! Thanks Carl it’s a blast to ride also!
As I have written over in my CobblestoneRat Build thread I spent the last two days at the VELO fair in Berlin Tempelhof. Yesterday a mainly looked at different bikes, checked out some specials and today I did loads of testriding, according to my tracking app it was around 11km on the testtracks...
This is a screenshot from my app:
And here are todays rides. Mostly CargoBikes but also some specials sprinkled inbetween
The matching Cockpit Shots are over here...
Tomorrow I'll post some more pictures of the bikes If seen and admired...

What's happening here?!
That's the kwiggle. It's the smallest folding bike you can get. It actually fits in a hand luggage bag for the airplane. It takes getting use to but it's surprisingly easy to ride!
I like the ones with a large forward cargo area. I could sit in there, enjoy all the consumables it would carry, then take a nap in it. At the beach with an umbrella.

And maybe even find someone to peddle you home!
What a great day that would be!!!
