Dan, Seems like the plans call for longer tubing than is needed. This was you have enough material to bend them. After bending you would cut to length. I...
Hey, all. I built the LongEasy, and am looking into bike computer options. The natural place to mount one seems to be on the end of the front derailer(sp!)...

Okay, I am getting ready to start building out my Bentech. I have a donor bike that has all the no-name components - v-brakes, etc. I also have a couple...
Hello, I'd get the bike up and running first, then spend the $200 to replace the parts that do not work so great. However, you should consider what type of...
My 1st priority would be drive train, mainly the rear. I selected 9 speed cassette, Shimano XT derailler. For the front my derailler is a lower grade 3...

Hi. First off I think the group is great. I don't have a bentech but I do have a homebuilt SWB OSS bent. (It's a 20" wheel Peugeot with a fiberglass boom...
I've been wanting to transport mine as well. I already have a yakama roof rack on my corolla but the bike trays I have won't work with the bent. They do have...
Well, I'm getting psyched! I've got the plans now (SWB model), and have tentatively ordered Chromoly from the Dillsburg source. I'll try the jig and homebrew...
