Re: [Flevofan] Trail riding?

To use a common (20'') bike offroad or for climbing, try to put the rear
fork of a racer on it. I did it on my voyage through the pyrenees to
santiago de la compostella. Works great: 13 % climbing is OK and offroad
the grip on the surface is far better.

But at least it's not where the flevo is designed for. So for real
offroad activities use a common mountainbike.

I'm wondering how well a Flevoracer would handle packed dirt trails and gravel trails. Any opinions would be great....
