Re: Sears Tote Cycle

That sure is a sweet looking folder! I like the tubular frame with integrated rack! AND the color! Nice little score dude!
 
Re: Sears Tote Cycle

I bought one last year.

1: not a folder. It dis-assembles but there is no hinge. It's quite awkward to reassemble so I changed out the wing bolts for hex bolts to discourage anyone from trying that again.

2: totally over geared. I first tried a larger cog but the chain rubbed on the top of the chain guard. So I went with a smaller front sprocket.

3: changed out the shifter to a bar mounted normal 3 speed trigger. The lever on the seat tube is rather hard to reach while riding. Besides, that cool shifter would look better on other bikes.

4: added a milk crate on the rear rack for hauling groceries.

Mine has a front clamp rack, just right for a 12 pack.

Met a guy riding one on Ragbrai this summer. macho!

I have one of these! They are the bees knees. I need to hot rod it up a bit I think. That gold color is amazing, mine is just plain ol' black. :(
