Bill I saw the new style cassettes at the store for very little money(20) . Will price them again and send you pictures. I will check also for the 28 and 30 ...
Thanks Dan. I just found a 7 tooth cassette with a 31 tooth cog. I will try to trade cogs or cassettes. It may be a pipe dream. I have been having some knee...

We will see if SRAM cassettes and Sachs cassettes will interchange. Why nothing compatible anymore. I still love my old suntour components. We can't atand on a...

AFAIK the Orbit is no cassette. It contains single chainwheels as on old, pre cassette-times common cages... But at that time these where as incomaptible as...

Thanks for the info. ... Hmmmm, This bike was purchased in 1994 in Orange county California. One of just a few Chinkaras built from a FLEVO license. I'm sure...

Hi all, New to the group but not to building bents. I've always wanted to try a Flevo 20/20 and I've got enough of the right parts and materials to start one....
... Hardly ... Anyway, I was told that similiar rubber parts are used in wind-surfing. -- Greetings Pete You can learn many things from children. How much...
You should be able to find machine vibration damping mounts that would suffice. I suggest that you use a more vertical head tube angle but maintain the same...

I have spent some time building flevo racers, and alternate designs based on the flevoracer. I have a design that allows the bike to convert from flevo ...
Thanks for the input everyone. I have an observation about the build that I'd like to get some feedback on. I'm thinking of how best to get all the front end...
I would simply add to that: why not tack-weld it in place for testing... Then grind the welds off if you need to move it. Testing will go quickly. You'll know...
would you send to Italy?... I'm not planning any vacation to the Netherlands... I'd like to know some more spec about your bikes: gear range (italy is not as...
Dear Flevofriends, First, I have a confession to make, I bought a lRaptobike lowracer and sold my flevobike. I do miss my old friend, but my new bike is a lot...

Still doing rough sketches of ideas for my Flavo (20/20) build. Not going to have it separate at the pivot. Instead, maybe have the rear swingarm fold up...
IMHO the pivot angle should be 70 degrees. The bike would then be easier to ride at low speed and can be started from a dead stop without using your hands. The...

Hello Tim, I would not take the 40° too serious. When I did the drawing back in the early 90ies I took the measurements from an original white 20" flevobike ...
