stopping by to say hello

[Oddball]

Hey guys, I just finished building a couple Bikesdirect fatbikes, a Motobecane Lurch for me and a Boris for my wife. After a frustrating day of instruction, I had a Sturmer-Archey 3 speed built for my wife's bike... We're both running Bafang BBSHDs, and I have to say, so far it's been a total blast! I'm looking forward to many fun days with these new machines, and with the recent legislation here in Michigan, it makes everything legit...

Welcome to the best forum under the sun. Enjoy your stay.

Do not forget to post some pictures of your builds.

I finished the wife's build, finally, and I have a few pics to share pre chain tensioner. The singleator came the next afternoon, and we went for a test ride. MC loves her new bike!

Very nice setup @Oddball, the 1x drivetrain is a great idea... how did you get the Sturmy Archer spoked into a fat tire like that? Did the Motobecane come that way?

Looks like some comfy rides @Oddball! Nice. Looking forward to hearing about rides you two do. Please keep the pics coming

No, that bike was equipped with a 2x9 drivetrain, but MC was a little daunted by all the gears... My LBS actually found a 36 hole wheel... SE Racing makes it...
