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...
Hello, In the last time several Flevos were with very similiar description sold at www.ebay.de. The prices were higher than on marktplatz.nl. So mabey someone...

... the same trail by moving the wheel axle back relative to the steering axis. ... Like this swb? http://www.atomiczombie.com/gallery/rickunger/swbrecumb.htm...
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...

Moin moin, since some weeks I started to ride again my second Flevo-bike. It's ecuipped with dampers for washing machines (Stabilus)... Front tire: 50 mm...

I start my Racer no-hands. But at low speeds under high load (hill climbing), I find instability sets in at about 5mph/8kph. I think if I had the bodily...

Hi John, You are a better man than I. My Chinkara is a nice machine, but the low speed wobble is too great for me to start with no hands. A laid back head...

Yet another geometry question. The FlavoFanClub site says the rough plans of the 20/20 are of historical value only because of `technical imperfections' and...
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 ...
... Yep, it is 45 degrees according to the building instructions that my father bought from the Flevobike company in the late 90s. Greetings, Martin...
Hi All, I am reaching out into the global cycling community in search of unique cycling film shorts. There are several grants available for Canadian and...
Thanks all for the info. Will probably end up building an exact copy except to lengthen the rear a bit. I like the industrial look of the bike. ... From:...
Used parts of an old exercise machine to start build. http://bellsouthpwp2.net/k/a/karlet/Flevobike/Flevo1.JPG Boom fits inside main tube making it adjustable....
You can get something very similar to the diabolo by buying gearbox mounts for a Mazda RX7 1986-1992 (The second generation bodystyle). The rear gearbox mounts...

... don't forget: If you want to have a particular Flevo piece and don't know how to make or obtain it, you can always order it at Ligfietsshop in Dronten:...
... I won't demotivate you, but I doubt, that the normal cycle headset would last long. In a geometry like the Flevo they are much higher loaded than in a...
